'Troubling decline' in secondary school PE lessons

Youth Sport Trust warns of a concerning drop in secondary school PE hours, with nearly 4,000 hours lost in state-funded schools in one year and 45,000 hours since the 2012 Olympics. The charity calls for urgent action to protect and prioritize physical education, as well as noting a 7% decrease in PE teachers in England. The government has responded, expressing its commitment to improving access to PE and school sports for young people.
