Abstract: This article reviews and analyses the critical factors that have contributed to the trivialisation and the consequent non teaching of Physical Education in Zimbabwean primary and secondary schools. The paper analyses and reviews relevant Zimbabwean studies and literature in order to come up with a pattern that explains the major reasons for the non teaching of this significant, but often neglected subject. The paper also projects forward by presenting practical suggestions for improvement of the status quo.
