dc.description.abstractTeaching of Physical Education and Sport (PES) is important for the improvement of mental and physical alertness of children (Maher, 2016). Hence, the study explored the availability of facilities and equipment for the teaching of physical education and sport in selected primary schools in Serenje District of Zambia. It adopted an intrinsic case study design that allowed the collection of qualitative data. The sample size was 26 comprising of 25 teachers and one Education Standards Officer. Expert case purposive sampling was used to select the sample. The study findings show that facilities for teaching Physical Education and Sport were largely unavailable because only play fields were available in the five selected primary schools. Those that were available, in some schools they were not in a good condition. The poor state or lack of facilities and equipment, in the selected schools, negatively affected the teaching of physical education and sport. Some pupils even had negative attitude towards the subject. The interventions required enhancing the teaching of physical education and sport included repair: replacement of equipment by lobbying the corporate world and communities. In addition, schools suggested improvisation of facilities and equipment to include traditional forms of PES facilities and equipment. There is need for MOGE, through the District offices DEBS, to expedite the distribution of PES equipment to all the schools where PES is taught so that teaching can be enhanced. In addition, there is need for schools to improvise on certain PES facilities and equipment which they can manage.
