The Sejm Committees were alarmed by the data from the report of the Supreme Audit Office. In higher classes of primary schools about 15 percent of pupils regularly avoid physical education (PE) classes. In lower and upper secondary schools this is as much as 30 percent. Improving sports infrastructure in schools is of no help in this case. At the same time, almost half a million children in Poland are overweight or suffer from bad posture.

Desideratum of Sejm Committees
That is why, the Sejm Committees addressed the Ministries of Health, National Education as well as Sport and Tourism to develop the National Programme for the Prevention of Overweight and Obesity in Children and Youth. The Committees also expect actions will be taken to reduce the number of pupils who avoid PE classes.
The postulate was signed by the Chairs of the Committees of Education, Science and Youth, Physical Education, Sport and Tourism and Health.
