Good day folks, due to some issues, I'm gonna be in Department of Physical and Health Education.
I'd like to have some of your inputs concerning it.
I know it's not in the league of your hot courses but I'd love to pick a thing or two from your inputs.

This thread really made my day, a student of physical and health education. I look up to expert in this field to come and make this platform lively. areas of specialization and job prospects to its graduates.

what reason do they have to look down on this course than its offered in faculty of education and as u know people downgrade educational courses not knowing that courses like library and information science and physical and health education are hot cakes despite been offered in faculty of education.

Good day, It's a pleasure having you here.
Thanks for checking out my story; and you understand my current situation and how I got to PHE department.
Using Google didn't really explain some things and I've not started the session yet.
I want to know how it is in the Nigeria setting and thank God you landed here.
How was the department like?
Were you enjoying it?
Even if you were, you've still had your mind set out to go somewhere else.

You've got first-hand experience and we'd like you to drop some crucial information.
I'll be starting from 200L so it's like I'm entering a war that's already begun

PHE is one those courses we take as a curse in Nigeria, but it's one of the most lucrative course in western world as you can see if you are a soccer fan. The issue is that the school and the lecturers are not helping the situation. They will even make the course miserable for students.

The curriculum is based on 40% classroom and 60% field event. But if you want to further to masters level it will definitely be education course unless you do a pg then u can go to other discipline...

Wait for more

THREAT TO PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION
Today I want to examine an imminent threat to the survival of physical and health education as a discipline in our tertiary institutions. I remember as an undergraduate student there was no clear division between physical and health education as a course of study but as the year goes by we have been able to see some sort of competition and division within the department of physical and health education giving rise to the production of students of physical education and students of health education. I am not interested in knowing why this came to be but I am convinced that most of our students especially at the undergraduate level are been denied the opportunity to make a choice about what area they would prefer to specialize on in their post graduate programme. A situation whereby a student of physical and health education department that specializes in health education is prevented from participating in sport practicals is highly uncalled for in my view. I challenge any lecturer of health education to prove to me that he or she was not a product of physical and health education at the under graduate level. This threat has affected sport development generally. Those who are supposed to at least serve as the foundation for sport impartation are themselves deprived of the knowledge from their university. Many of the graduates from either side of the divide end up lost in the labour market. While I am not against people wanting to specialize in Health Education at an advance level, I strongly will want the National University Commission to please correct the anomaly that is going on in some of our universities in Nigeria. A student of the department of physical and health education should be a proud student exposed to the basic principles of sport and health education. This helps to produce a balance graduate in that field as such a student will know the effect of exercise on the human body as well as the effect of drug miss-use on the human body. But when this knowledge is divided as it were, then we are producing graduates that will not be relevant in the labour market. It is very easy for some lecturers to sit down in the comfort of their office and propose that students of health education have a ready-made market for them outside the university. But I say such students are limited to just health education which to me is currently very competitive as we have medical doctors, public health professionals, nurses etc competing in these same sector. Our original take off point which is sport cannot be contested. We have very prominent sport administrators who were specialist in health education but whose foundation was in both health and physical education. Today I have seen a couple of health education graduates that cannot play any sport nor teach any sport; this to me is an aberration to our noble profession. Our professional colleagues in the university should stop deceiving these undergraduate students by encouraging division in a combine subject matter like physical and health education. The world is reclassifying itself into strata of relevance and sectorial dictates of professions. If I may ask which profession or area of discipline will a first degree holder in health education claim to belong to in Nigeria or outside Nigeria? Is it sport or the health sector? Rather than produce students that will not be able to fit into their core area of discipline, I feel it is much better for the truth to be told to all those advocating for the outright division of health education from physical education. However, if they insist I will suggest that they be relocated to the public health department away from sport so that the quota of sport undergraduates will not be affected by the students of health education at the undergraduate level. I am open for discusion on this concept of division which to me is a threat to the existence of our common heritage. A student of the department of physical and health education should be grounded in both sport and health related matters not one knowing sport and the other knowing health at the detriment of the industry at large. We have lost so many grounds as a result of these and today if asked what is the constituency of a physical education graduate he or she will quickly say sport and what about a health education graduate I am not sure he or she can claim to be a sport professional yet we have a lot of them in our ministries of sports knowing nothing relating to sport other than the fact that they graduated from the department of physical and health education. My final appeal is to all departments of physical and health education to please stop this division and go back to the basics of producing graduates that are grounded in these two disciplines with the opportunity to expand their interest at their post-graduate level. This has become imminent as many graduates of physical and health education have failed to measure up in the labour market. A word is enough for the wise…..
