- Sport is ‘statutory right for all’ says ParalympicsGB chief
ParalympicsGB has urged the government to commit to ensuring “every child has the same access to physical education”, against the background of just a quarter of the 1.5 million schoolchildren with disabilities regularly taking part in PE.
As Britain enjoys another rush of gold medals in the opening days of the Paris Paralympic Games, the British national Paralympic committee has set out an ambitious programme for reforming the way PE is taught in schools, asking for greater emphasis on physical activity for all and greater resourcing to make it happen.
