In Afghanistan, the German Development Cooperation (GIZ), in cooperation with the Afghan Ministry of Education, promoted school sport for girls. The long-term goal was to establish more and better physical education opportunities in girls’ schools.
Sport is one of the most popular leisure activities in Afghanistan. Despite this, there are very few opportunities for people to get involved in sport through formal associations. Girls and young women in particular need safe spaces to take part in exercise and physical activity. Schools remain one of the few environments where this is possible. However, they often lack structured teaching plans, appropriate sports equipment, adequate infrastructure, and qualified physical education teachers – especially female teachers.
To address these challenges, GIZ and its partners developed a physical education (PE) curriculum, which was integrated into the national basic education programme for primary school teachers. GIZ also designed and piloted teacher training modules that focused on strengthening the personal and social competences of girls and young women through sport. Through these trainings, GIZ enabled teachers to use sport as a means of personal development. The programme introduced practical approaches for adapting physical activities to the local context and encouraged the effective use of local resources. In doing so, GIZ contributed to building a more inclusive and supportive environment for girls’ physical education in Afghan schools.
We invite you to have a look at the following teaching and learning material, which was created by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and our partner organizations in Afghanistan.
