Evaluate the article
The lead includes an introductory sentence that clearly describes the topic of the article as it describes the the importance and significance of physical education in primary and secondary education. The lead section also includes brief statements of the major topics included in the article as well and because it is brief, it does not have too much information or is overly detailed.

The content in the article was relevent to the topic as it shows the trends of health beneifits and technology used for physical education as well as how it differs in different continents. Much of the content inlcuded in the article is not entirely up to date as there is data that was used over ten years ago, though it still remains relevant to the topic. In one of major topics, the article talks about what physical education is like all around the world, but it does not include Africa or South America so there is no information whether physical education is prominent in those continents compared to the rest of the world.

The article remains neutral throughout with accurate and precise information for each section. Each information provided in the article was derived from reliable sources with some being from studies made about the benefits and books regarding the history of physical education. The article includes many different types of sources which were all correctly cited throughout each section.

The article is well written as it is concise, clear and the information provided was an easy read helping those with no prior knowledge of the importance of physicale education understand the article better. The article was also well organized as it is broken down into sections that are relevent to the topic. Each section clearly shows the major topics of physical education that was included in the lead section. There were no grammatical errors found in the article which further helps in the article being an easy read.

The images used in the article was a good choice as it was relevent to the topic by showing different images of physical eduaction from different continents. With the use of the photos, the reader gains a better understanding of how physical education differs around the world as it shows the different games that are traditional to certain cultures that are different in other continents.

Overall, the article was well written and provided concise and accurate information regarding physical education.
