12. Purpose
The purpose of this report is to show how much satisfied
the students are concerning the Physical Education in Perama School.
Equipment
Two percent of the students asked were of the opinion that the school
provides the students with the necessary equipment for the lesson.
This indicates that most students are not satisfied with what the school
provides and perhaps they want the school to spend some money
on equipment like balls or exercise machines.
Time
Two thirds of the students that were questioned said that two hours
a week is not enough time for them to exercise properly. This confirms
the belief that gymnastics is a very important lesson for the students
and the school should provide more time for the subject.
Conclusion
All in all, students want the school to take Physical Education
more seriously and provide more gym equipment .Also the majority
of the students wants the lesson to take place more than twice a week.
