In memory of the beginning of the first training classes for teachers, this Tuesday, October 8, Physical Education Teacher’s Day is celebrated in Argentina.
Trained in areas that link from pedagogy to scientific foundations, the teachers of this discipline are those teachers capable of teaching the sports motor tasks that children, adolescents and adults need.
However, the role of Physical Education teachers exceeds activity with the body and teaching in educational establishments.

Recreation, health conservation and the search for well-being in general have been, for decades, important missions that they have carried out.
In honor of October 8, 1932, when the creation of the first National School of Physical Education in Argentina was completed, this anniversary seeks to honor all those who practice the discipline.
It should be noted that Argentina is one of the pioneer countries in incorporating physical activity in education. Since 1901, teachers began to be trained and trained with courses on the subject.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, who had embraced the progressive ideas of thinkers such as Herbert Spencer, maintained that state education should be based on three pillars: intellectual, moral and physical.
Commemorating Physical Education Teacher’s Day on October 8 is something relatively new. Although the records on when and how it emerged as an anniversary are not very clear, it is possible that it is a proposal of the 21st century.
When on October 8, 2020, the National Ministry of Education launched a congratulations to Physical Education teachers through its social networks, it installed the celebration on the calendar. (DiarioAr)
