 School Facilities & Safety

School safety is a human concern, one that every school and community must take seriously and
strive continually to achieve. It is also a legal concern; schools can be held liable if they do not make
good-faith efforts to provide a safe and secure school environment.

That is why mitigating hazards in school facilities should be planned and implemented by those who
know the school and its community best ― school and district staff in alliance with local emergency
responders and the school community. Working together, they can successfully:

 Assess the safety and security of school buildings, grounds, and surroundings.
 Make a hazard mitigation plan.
 Implement the plan.

Improving the safety of school facilities is not a new idea. All schools practice it in some way, but
often informally and on an ad hoc basis. A school and its occupants are best protected by conducting
and maintaining a systematic, careful, and well-documented hazard mitigation planning process.

Mitigating Hazards in School Facilities

1. Assess Your School Facilities

 Select an Assessment Tool. A variety of school facility safety assessment tools exist.
Among the best are those developed by the state departments of education or
safety centers.

2. Make a Plan
 Create a standing committee on hazard mitigation. The school’s hazard mitigation
committee should be a smaller, permanent version of the facility assessment team,
but with a different focus and leadership. Appoint the principal or a vice principal as
chair and include the school or district facility manager, school resource officer,
head custodian, local fire, police, and rescue officials, and several staff, school
board, building professional, or community representatives known for their integrity
and good judgment

3. Implement the Plan

 Start small, think big. After the hazard mitigation plan is complete, the hazard
mitigation committee should oversee its implementation. Only the least costly
mitigation measures are likely to be implemented immediately, with the rest added
to either the school’s maintenance and operations or capital improvement plans.
Analysis of The Facilities at School and Areas That Can Pose Safety Issues

Data analysis

 The result from the checklist survey of elementary school nearby were downloaded
into excel file where the data were cleaned and coded to ensure accuracy for all data .
mean , percentage and frequencies were calculated for each variable

Result
 The data of this study were organized into following categories , school teachers
profile , sport facilities , implementation area for PE class management and
maintenance of sport store , school leadership , teaching adequacy , student
involvement in PE and financial support

Conclusions

Safety policies and/or rules existed and were applied at 40% of the schools. At another 30%, safety
policies existed but were not applied to ensure safety while at 30% of the schools no safety policies
or rules existed and nothing was done to ensure safety for the learners on the school property or
during official school activities..From the investigations carried out in this research project the
following deductions were made regarding the aims of the study set out earlier:

• Different forms of physical violence are experienced in schools.

• Schools lack mission statements regarding safety. • Schools lack detailed safety policies. • Schools
do not have enough safety rules and lack constant rule enforcement procedures.

• Schools do not have safety committees.

• School physical facilities pose threats to safety.

Recommendations

All schools should expressly pay attention to safety issues and compile comprehensive safety plans
and strategies which take cognisance of, among others.

What is Sport and Physical Education?

Physical education, PE or P.E is aneducational course related to the physique of the human
body, taken during primary and secondary education that encourages psychomotor
learning in a play or movement exploration setting to promote health.

In Malaysia, pupils from primary schools to secondary schools are expected to do 2 periods
or 1 hour of PE throughout the year except a week before examination. In most secondary
schools, games like badminton, sepak takraw, football, basketball and tennis are available.
Pupils are allowed to bring their own sports equipment to the school with the authorization of
the teacher. In most secondary schools, physical exams are rarely done, but schools record
pupils' height, weight and number of push-ups they can do.

In the Malaysian school curriculum Physical Education is accepted as education of the physical
through the physical. It is a compulsory subject taught in both primary and secondary schools. It is
also accorded the same status as other subjects in the school curriculum and accepted as on par
with other core subjects though it is not an examination subject. The importance of Physical
Education is supported by the move of the Ministry of Education to increase the teaching duration
for Physical Education from 90 minutes to 120 minutes per week in the first three years of primary
education. This has been effective since December 1994.

Policies and Procedures of Sport and Physical Education

Procedure;

In Malaysia, Physical Education and Health Education have separate syllabuses and are taught
separately in primary schools. Separate periods are allocated to both subjects. However, this study
will focus on Physical Education. Physical Education is one of the subjects taught in all the primary
and secondary schools in Malaysia. It is a compulsory subject which is considered important by the
Ministry of Education in promoting the modern concept of education ,that is the development of the
'whole child'.

This concept is incorporated in the National Educational Policy and Physical Education is included in
the total school programme. The total school programme is designed to assure the optimum growth
and development of school children through directed physical activities.

Goals of the Physical Education & Sports Policy

The aim of organized physical education and sport programs is to create

an environment that stimulates selected movement experiences resulting
in desirable responses that contribute to the optimal development of the
individual's potentialities in all phases of life. The objective of the Schools
Physical Education and Sports Policy is to provide guidelines to schools for
development of the following:

 To help students achieve a health-enhancing life of physical activity

 To help understand and respect individual differences among people
in physical settings
 Integrate Physical Education and Sports into the Curriculum
 To provide for a safe physical environment
 To provide students with a variety of activities that will enhance life-
long learning and participation
 Promote physical excellence
