What do you mean, what kind of subject is it? It's health and physical education...

Oh, I'm sorry.
Since I'm not an English-native speaker, I didn't make the link between this word and the information given in school about health behaviors.
So, in Japan, professors that teach physical education, also teach health education (since the word means the two) ?
Well, why not...
Thank you for your response.
I don't think any professors (meaning people at the university level) would teach 保健体育. It's a subject in lower levels of education.
But yes... generally speaking, the same teachers who teach kids how to play basketball and keep track of their progress in running various distances also teach them about health concerns.
How interesting... Thank you very much for the precisions!
But now, I'm wondering something... I see in your Wikipedia page, that in English, health education, also include sexual education... Are 保健体育 professors also teaching it, then...?
Or is Japanese's vision of health education differing from English's one?
Hello, I'm wondering which subject are 保健体育 professors teaching, exactly?
Hello, everyone. I'm new here, happy to meet you. :)
I came across this word in a video game today, but the translation I found on Jisho.org is "Health and physical education".
What type of subject it is, exactly? Is someone knowing?
Thank you very much.
