Vietnam Lower Secondary Curriculum (Grades 8-9) - Physical Education

The Physical Education curriculum in Vietnam for lower secondary schools (grades 8-9) is designed to equip students with fundamental movement skills, knowledge, and the habit of regular exercise for improved health and well-being. It is part of the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). Physical Education is a compulsory subject within the broader lower secondary curriculum, which also includes subjects like Vietnamese, mathematics, science, foreign language, and arts. The curriculum emphasizes both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.

While the specific activities may vary, the overall goals of the Physical Education curriculum include developing physical fitness, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship, and fostering an appreciation for lifelong physical activity. Research has been conducted on the implementation of the Physical Education program and the level of physical activity among students in Vietnam.
