The British public thinks it is more important secondary school children have PE lessons than study history, according to a study by YouGov.
The survey asked British adults which subjects they felt were the most important to study in schools, and physical education ranked more highly than many other subjects, including history and religious education.
Out of 1,648 respondents, 42 per cent ranked PE as very important, compared to 39 per cent who think history is very important and 12 per cent for religious studies.
