Multi-Subject Co-Governance:Experiences and Insights from the Practice of Physical Education Governance in UK Primary and Secondary Schools
Physical education is crucial not only for the physical and mental health development of school students but also significantly impacts their academic performance,willpower,lifestyle habits and interpersonal interactions.However,in the UK,school students face challenges such as obesity,sedentary lifestyles and inadequate physical activity due to the prevalence of fast food and electronic devices.The UK government has continuously optimized physical education governance in primary and secondary schools by establishing a multi-subject co-governance framework involving various government departments,schools,and sports organizations.This framework has shaped a decision-making mechanism guiding the macro direction of school physical education policies,an implementation mechanism coordinating the advancement of policy implementation,and an evaluation mechanism assessing policy effectiveness and improvement directions.Through efforts to consolidate consensus on interest expression,construct a holistic governance framework,and harness the governance vitality of grassroots organizations,the UK has achieved complementary advantages among multiple subjects.This approach effectively addresses the fragmentation issue in the governance process and stimulates grassroots participation in school physical education governance.These insights are crucial for enhancing the"synergistic education"mechanism in our country's school physical education development.
