Physical activity is first and foremost a requirement for successful learning and teaching, in addition to the benefits it has on physical, mental, and social health. Through physical activity and its effects, children and adolescents can more easily follow lessons and acquire new knowledge, and teachers can more easily and more efficiently teach. With a strategic reflection on the baseline of the new educational system in Slovenia, involving about a hundred experts from the academic and school sectors, a close-knit group of experts has developed guidelines for the placement of physical activity in everyday education, based on scientifically proven domestic and foreign solutions. Important elements of such a placement are: a) a school environment that encourages physical activity; b) physical activityes co-created by students and teachers; c) teachers who know and are able to use physical activity in their teaching. Based on these elements, the experts suggest actions to promote physical activity in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, such as: active commuting to school, creating an indoors and outdoors an indoors and outdoors environment which will stimulate physical activity, physically-active learning, active recess, minutes brain breaks, restrictions on sedentary homework, organizing and financing these activities. With links to videos and other materials, they also present practical examples of such interventions.
