Movement plays a central role in a child‘s physical development. Its role is crucial during the period of growing up, as it has a significant impact on the child‘s cognitive, emotional, social and movement development. A child moves spontaneously, and during school period, a special subject of physical education is dedicated to the development of his motor literacy, based on the needs, interests and developmental level of the children. Different coun- tries include movement and physical education in their curricula in different ways. With this contribution, we want to present the concept of physical education in Iranian schools, as comparisons are a good opportunity to see how the goals of certain subjects are universal, and their realization is also culturally and historically conditioned. Most of the educational goals of the modern school can be realized by involving children and adolescents in sports activities. Teaching physical edu- cation is included as one of the eleven learning areas in the Iranian national curriculum. The purpose of the content area of physical education is to establish comprehensive physical and mental health of children through the correct selection of physical activity, improvement of movement skills and recognition of healthy ways of exercise. Therefore, physical education is one of the main subjects in many Iranian schools. The broader program thus includes activities with which the student learns through movement, and development takes place from the acquisition of basic movement patterns in the lower grades to the implementation of complex movement skills and a high level of movement efficiency at the high school level. At the same time, the school in Iran is also the most important environment for identifying talented children for sports.
