Physical literacy is consists of movement, motor- and activity-specific skills. In the early grades the learners are taught the ‘what,’ ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the movement. This progresses to an understanding of the ‘why’ of the movement which is achieved by developing more mature movement patterns and motor skills in a wide range and variety of exercise, sports and dance activities to specifically enhance fitness parameters. The learners build on this knowledge and skills in order to plan, set goals and monitor their participation in physical activities (exercise, sports, and dance) and constantly evaluate how well they have integrated this their personal lifestyle. This implies the provision of ongoing and developmentally-appropriate activities so that the learners can practice, create, apply and evaluate the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary to maintain and enhance their own as well as others’ fitness and health through participation in physical activities.

The curriculum also allows for an inclusive approach that understands and respects the diverse range of learners; thus, the program takes into account their needs, strengths, and abilities. This is to ensure that all learners have equivalent opportunities and choices in Physical Education.

These are all valuable 21st-century skills which the K to 12 PE Curriculum aspires for the learners to develop or both meaning and accuracy.
