1 STUDENT 1 SPORT

Salam Satu Malaysia,

Kebelakangan ini NOMBOR SATU sangat 'prominent' dan kini kita tiba ke era SATU MURID SATU SUKAN. Minggu lepas saya telah bermesyuarat bersama beberapa orang rakan yang dianggap sebagai 'heavyweights' dalam bidang PJ dan Sukan. Perbualan kami dari mula hingga akhir adalah tentang implementasi program ini. Tambahan masa 90 minit untuk ini bagi murid sekolah menengah dan 60 minit bagi murid sekolah rendah memang menggembirakan saya. Yahoo (gembira), akhirnya guru PJ dapat mengajar PJ dan 'coaching' dikeluarkan (dihalau) keluar.

Perkara yang menjadi persoalan adalah tentang perlaksanaan:
1. Bukankah semua murid diwajibkan menyertai satu permainan untuk kokurikulum?
2. Jika perkara ini dimasukkan dalam kurikulum, siapa yang akan melaksanakan
(modal insan????)?
3. Di kebanyakkan sekolah, kemudahan tidak mencukupi untuk menjalankan
beberapa kelas PJ serentak. Bagaimanakah semua murid di sebuah sekolah akan
menyertai program sedemikian serentak?
4. Adakah jenis sukan ditetapkan oleh pihak yang 'BERKUASA' atau murid
diberi pilihan?
5. Adakah murid itu akan dipakasa menyertai sukan pilihannya sepanjang riwayat dia
sebagai murid seperti yang dilaksana dalam program kokurikulum sekarang (oleh
beberapa sekolah)? (Multilateral??????)

Too many questions to be answered. Mungkin anda boleh membantu dalam perbincangan ini dengan memberi pandangan ataupun tambah persoalan tentang perlaksanaan program ini.

Walaubagaimanapun, saya agak excited kerana program berikut adalah SATU MURID SATU BOLA.
GLORY TO SPORTS.

1Student, 1Sport policy to be implemented


1Student 1Sport policy to be enforced in 2011

KUALA LUMPUR: Sports will be introduced to school timetables next year as a new subject, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said under the 1Student, 1Sport policy, secondary school students would get 90 minutes a week to play a game of their choice, while primary pupils would spend 60 minutes weekly.
Muhyiddin, who is also the Education Minister, said the Physical Education subject would still be taught as it had a specific syllabus.
Currently, primary pupils spend 60 minutes weekly at Physical Education, while secondary school students spend 80 minutes.

“We hope not to extend schooling hours, and will incorporate sports into the timetable. This will reduce logistical issues of parents having to send students back to school after (normal) schooling hours,” he said after chairing the committee on sports development at Parliament House here yesterday.

Muhyiddin assured parents that the move would not affect the academic results of their children, but would instead make them all-rounders.

“Our top students do well in both academics and sports. We want students to excel in both,” he said.

Muhyiddin said it would be compulsory for students to take up at least one sport, but added that those of poor health could be exempted.

“Teachers will not force students who are unwell to play,” he said.

Muhyiddin said the ministry’s annual sports grant would be increased from RM2.40 per student to RM4 for primary school pupils and RM6 for secondary school students.

“When parents contribute to this grant, we will match their contribution. But of course, it is not compulsory for them to contribute.”

On calls from some quarters for sex education to be taught in schools, he said he would form a committee to look into the matter.

We want to get the views of all parties before deciding,” he said.

1Student 1Sport policy welcomed

PETALING JAYA: The Government is moving in the right direction by introducing the new 1Student 1Sport policy in schools next year, a former Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) official said.

Datuk A. Vaithilingam said, however , cooperation from all parties was needed to make t he policy a success. He was reacting to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s announcement on Wednesday that sports would be a new subject next year.

Under the policy, secondary school students would get 90 minutes a week to play a game of their choice, while primary pupils would spend 60 minutes we ekly.

However, he said school heads should ensure that sports time was not used for examination subjects.
