Fitness for kids
Introduce in the primary school curriculum a requirement that all schools have a 15 minute physical education session each morning in the playground before lessons start for the whole school led by a teacher.
Why is this important?
To tackle lack of fitness and obesity in school children. This would assist greatly in the health of the nation.
When I was at prep school in the 1950s we had a PE session every day before lessons. As a result all the children in the school had a basic level of fitness which stood them in good stead for the future. There were very few obese or overweight children at our school. Some of this was probable diet but exercise is hugely important for health.
