Abstract
In 1999, the national sports policy in Uganda was established and stated that Physical Education and Sports are an important activity in the process of Nation building. However, many secondary schools in Uganda have not included Physical Education in their disciplines offered for instance; In Uganda, the ministry of education and sports directed and reinstated teaching of Physical Education in secondary schools in 2009, but by the end of 2018, 2019, 2021, the percentage of schools teaching P.E were 5.0%, 17.5% and 47.5% respectively In 2020, Uganda rolled out the lower secondary curriculum making P.E compulsory for S.1 and S.2 in reference to the directive of the MoES. According to me, each school should have a soccer pitch, netball field with the goals, volleyball pitch, basketball field, athletics equipment, and at least two qualified Physical Education teachers. The purpose of this study was to establish whether secondary schools are prepared to implement Physical Education as stipulated in the new curriculum. After the study, results were recommended for use by ministry of Education and sports (MoES) to the district sports and inspector of schools, private sector and donors Since Kibuku is one of the districts, with the above challenges, the researcher finds it important to intervene and check on the preparedness of secondary schools in the implementations of the new lower secondary curriculum with PES.
