THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

Health and Physical education (HPE) is one of the core subjects in primary and secondary schools, as well as in teacher training colleges in Kenya. The implementation of HPE curriculum is however not progressing as expected. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine selected determinants of implementation of HPE curriculum in public primary schools in Kenya specifically Nandi county. My motivation came from many assessments in health and physical education lessons with student teachers from teachers training colleges during their teaching practice in public primary schools, namely, Shanzu and Mosoriot teachers training colleges.
