In a recent statement, Mauritanian union leader Mohamed Abdel Wahab Seyed El-Mokhtar called for the reinstatement of physical education in schools. He emphasized the importance of this subject in the development of children, both mentally and physically. El-Mokhtar, who heads the union of civil and sports education teachers, expressed concerns about the success of the Republican School initiative without this crucial element.
El-Mokhtar questioned how the Republican School can succeed without physical education, a vital component in building a child's personality. He also highlighted the neglect of civil and sports education teachers. The union leader reiterated his demand for the subject's reinstatement, citing its absence as a significant drawback. He pointed out that this absence can lead to negative consequences within schools, including the use of banned substances.
According to El-Mokhtar, Mauritanian schools lack the necessary sports infrastructure. He noted that most schools do not have sports fields or spaces, making discussions about the Republican School seem insincere. El-Mokhtar stressed the need to address this issue to find solutions and encourage concerned parties to take it seriously.
The union leader emphasized that resolving this issue requires discussion and consideration by relevant authorities. He insisted that finding a solution is crucial for the development of children and the success of the education system. El-Mokhtar also highlighted the need for recruiting new teachers and inspectors for the subject.
El-Mokhtar pointed out that there is currently only one inspector for physical education in Mauritania. He warned that between 80% and 90% of the subject's teachers will retire within one or two years. This situation underscores the urgency of recruiting new personnel to replace those retiring.
The union leader's demands come as part of a broader effort to improve the education system in Mauritania. He emphasized that physical education plays a vital role in shaping children's personalities and preparing them for the future. El-Mokhtar's statements reflect concerns about the current state of education in the country.
The Mauritanian education system faces challenges in providing adequate infrastructure and personnel for physical education. El-Mokhtar's call for action highlights the need for authorities to address these challenges and prioritize the development of the education sector.
