Vol. 409 No. 6

Written Answers. - Physical Education Requirements.

Jimmy Deenihan

Ceist:

167 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education if she will outline the time her Department recommend for physical education in post-primary schools; and if she has satisfied herself that this requirement is being complied with.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

In the approved syllabus in physical education it states that a basic minimum of two hours per week is required to implement the programme. I have no evidence that this is not being complied with within post-primary schools generally.
