Manitoba Mandates In-Person Physical Education for K-12 Students

The Manitoba government has announced that in-person physical education will become mandatory for all K-12 students starting in the upcoming academic term.

The policy aims to address declining physical activity levels among youth, requiring schools to provide structured exercise programs that cannot be replaced by remote learning.

Education officials stated that the mandate is part of a broader effort to improve student health and social engagement following years of pandemic-related disruptions.
