A Two-day workshop of Physical and Health Education (PHE) Teachers has ended at the National Stadium in Freetown, alongside the Teacher’s Council Meeting.
The Deputy Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Dr Algassium Jah formally opened the two-day workshop which was organized to find a solution to the persistent violence in Inter-Secondary School sports competition.
He mentioned that violence could not only be limited to the physical, as there is also structural and Psychological violence. He noted that physical violence, to which people pay more attention, comes last.
The Chairman of the Western Area Conference of Principals, Sylvester Mheaux, in his statement, pointed out that he appreciates the invitation to be part of the deliberations.

He then lauded the efforts of the Ministry for their moral and financial support to the department and promised to corporate with them at all times.
