Linda Ward Foundation has stressed the need for integration of sports with education if children are to develop to their full potential and be able to live health lives.
Founder of the Foundation Linda Ward made the remarks Saturday during a sports day which saw learners from ST Rosario, ST Hilary and Kamteteka primary schools compete in cross country running.
Ward’s organization is spearheading development activities around Kamteteka where it has refurbished Kamteteka health post, built four houses at the facility among others.
She said the Foundation believes in improving sports at the grassroot level as one way of moulding new talent that can make it at the national level.
Primary Education Advisor for the educational Zone Bolex Shumba said sporting activities help in ensuring that children are coming to school and improves their class performance.
From childhood, we have been taught to engage in some form of physical activity, whether it be playing with our friends, running around, or joining a sports team. Both sports and education have a significant role in our lives, but beyond just the fun and games, sports and games have an important role to play in education. They teach students life skills like teamwork, leadership, accountability, and patience. They also help to build confidence, improve self-esteem, teach social skills, and provide a sense of belongingness.
Sports and games are a great way to keep children active and healthy without the need for them to miss out on their academic studies. Moreover, physical activity has been medically proven to increase cognitive and memory functions, which can help children perform better in school.
e a distraction from academics is undergoing a radical transformation. Solidifying the idea of an athletic subculture, the mid-1990s witnessed the emergence of a notable research initiative in California. Known as the “Promoting Achievement in School Through Sports” programme (PASS), it strategically integrated sports into the educational framework with the aim of elevating the standard of academic accomplishment. It came up with compelling data that confirmed the affirmative impact of school-based sports participation on the enhancement of scholastic performance, as reflected in grades.
Athletic training and academic study are interrelated. Both are two sides of one coin. Sports in education are an integral part of the curriculum. It helps to shape a person’s personality and contributes to their holistic development. In some ways, this subject is a demonstration of all the disciplines that one has learned in school. Every sport has its foundations in math and physics.
Although many subjects are taught in the classroom, sports and physical education offer students an opportunity to be outside and exercise, as well as learning a wide range of skills.

A non-profit NGO with a focus on mobilizing communities towards sustainable and resilient development, Opulence Malawi, will implement Enhancing Education through Community Library project to improve the reading culture among the in-and-out-of-school children, youth and adults of Dowa district.
The project will target school governance bodies, community level, faith leaders, and chiefs under Traditional Authority Chakhaza covering Madisi and Chinkhwiri school zones to improve learner performance, and increasing literacy levels among the community members in the areas of impact.
According MANEB survey of 2023, the district experienced a low pass rate of 80.33 percent in the 2023 Primary School Leaving Certificate of Educations (PSLCE) results, literacy rate at 66 percent and electrification at 4.04 percent.
Opulence Malawi’s Programs Officer Okhifi Dimba, said by design, primary, secondary and tertiary schools must have a library and each learner should have a text book, but with the growing population, this has not been the case.
Dimba said lack of access to books through the libraries lowers literacy rates and ICT knowledge, this is escalated by low electrification rates in the country saying on average the schools’ learner to book ratio is 1;10 which is relatively high and in the long run this poses a threat on the quality of education.
He said the project will use participatory approach to engaging community stakeholders at all levels of planning, enhancing full participation and ownership and intensify parental and guardian participation in education and management of the Community Library in the district, among other interventions strategies.
The officer said the project will ensure that the communities make revenue from the library services which will be used for renovations and proper management of the infrastructure and full stocked with reading materials of both academic and non-academic.
“There will be diversification of activities conducted at the Community Library such as meetings for Village Savings and Loans groups, community dialogues and interacting sessions, among others,” said Dimba.
He said the project is expected to improve literacy levels among youth and adults, performance among students in Primary School Leaving Certificate of Educations and Junior Certificate of Educations and an institutionalized reading culture among community members.
Opulence Malawi will implement Enhancing Education through community library in Dowa district amounting to K250 million with funding from Donor Community Development and Church of Resurrection.
