What is QPE?
Unlike the traditional ‘one size fits all approach,’ quality physical education is based on equal opportunity for all to a well-balanced and inclusive curriculum.

Based on UNESCO’s Quality Physical Education Policy Pilot implemented in four countries (Fiji, Mexico, South Africa, and Zambia) from 2016-2018, the three new QPE publications guide national stakeholders to make effective revisions to current PE policies and delivery systems.

Each publication aims a different and wide arrange of audience, building on the existing QPE guidelines. Efforts will focus on increasing outreach of these publications throughout the year, towards promotion of QPE in more countries. Below is a brief guide from UNESCO on which publication may best suit your needs in an effective manner.

 The publications
