• Presented in second national conference at ASPESS,
Amity University,Noida, UP.

2. ABBREVIATIONS USED
• CDC = Centre for Development of master
Curriculum for various courses run by a
university.
• YES PE = Youth Enrichment through Sports and
Physical Education.
• CAKE = Centre for the Application of
multidisciplinary Knowledge Evaluated for its
authenticity.
• BE PAT = Balanced Education possible only with
the inclusion of Physical Activity Technology .

3. PHILOSOPHY OF VISION
“If at first the idea is not absurd,
then there is no hope for it”.
Alfred Einstein,1940

4. A SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS
• Almost all universities are lacking in the
management of knowledge for YES PE, CAKE
and CDC.
• This is because management is a new subject
and is yet to be included in the core
curriculum of undergraduate course structure
and that of pre-service teacher training
courses like B.Ed.,B.P.Ed etc.

5. A SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION
• All autonomous bodies like Universities ,
National School Education Boards of various
countries & Departments of Education are yet
to use the standardized definition of
‘Education’ inclusive of all four pillars as
recommended by the UNESCO 1996 and
UNO charter (1978) regarding human rights
for physical education & sports.

6. Another SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION
• We are yet to use scientific standards
for evaluating quality of educational
institutions based on the contents
being taught, required for human
needs and those needed for the
holistic development of personality.

7. Another SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION
• Universities and school education boards
are yet to focus their tools and courses
on quality contents of education
(described by UNO, UNESCO, CDC (USA),
WHO Mahatma Gandhi, Aurobindo
Ghosh, National Education Policy 1986
(India).

8. Another SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION
• Most of the recommendations made
by experts at national and
international conferences remain
unimplemented due to non-existent
system of management of
knowledge through any CAKES.

9. Another SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION
• We are yet to establish a unit of
measurement for measuring an educated
person where as the National Association
of Physical Education and Sports (USA)
has already standardized in 1994, the
practicable definition with measurable
standards of a physically educated
person.

10. A SCIENTIFIC FACT
• If any individual or agency is given autonomy or
freedom to call ‘7’ as ‘2’, ‘5’ as ‘7’ and ‘8’ as ‘3’, etc.,
there will be a total chaos in counting business.
• A similar chaos is existing today in educational
course contents .Consequently balanced educational
contents are yet to be started for teaching in the
universities and schools under the umbrella term of
autonomy to universities and school education
boards without the use of any scientific technology
(Explainable by the acronym ‘PROVE’ i.e. Precise,
Reliable, Objective, Valid and Expertise based
evaluation /accreditation).

11. CONCLUSION
• The scientific method of sports training
metaphor used by management experts,
is imminently needed for adoption by the
universities for YES PE (Youth Enrichment
through Sports & Physical Education) and for
developing CDC (Curriculum Development
Council) as well as CAKE (Center for the
Application of Knowledge Evaluated).
