Barriers and Enablers to Physical Education Integration: School Leadership Perspectives in Pimpri Chinchwad Region

Abstract Physical Education (PE) integration remains challenging in Indian schools despite NEP 2020 mandates for holistic student development. This study examines school leadership perspectives on barriers and enablers to PE implementation in Pimpri Chinchwad region of Pune district. Using a mixed-methods approach, 280 school leaders (principals, vice-principals, PE coordinators) from 65 secondary schools were surveyed, complemented by 20 semi-structured interviews. Key barriers identified include lack of facilities (40%), budget constraints (35%), insufficient trained staff (32%), low timetable priority (28%), and poor infrastructure (25%). Primary enablers include leadership commitment (85% effectiveness), teacher professional development (78%), infrastructure investment (72%), community involvement (68%), and resource allocation (65%). Data analysis revealed that leadership attitude and resource mobilization strategies significantly influence PE program success (χ² = 24.6, p < 0.001). Schools with committed leadership showed 2.8 times higher PE program quality ratings than those without (p < 0.05). Findings suggest that addressing infrastructure deficits through targeted investment and developing comprehensive leadership training programs are critical for successful PE integration in industrial-area schools.
