Abstract
The physical education curriculum is very important for helping students become fit, stay healthy, and learn how to exercise regularly. At the same time, it helps kids learn how to live a healthy life, be determined, be disciplined, and work together, which meets the standards for a well-rounded education. The purpose of the study is to conduct a survey and provide data regarding the current state of the physical education (PE) curriculum for Saigon University (SGU) students. The study employs literature review methodologies, interviews, and statistical analysis to comprehensively address the research topic. The research participants include 15,400 SGU students, 20 management staff members, 14 physical education instructors, and a range of experts, both affiliated with and independent of SGU. The study employs literature review methodologies, interviews, and statistical analysis to comprehensively investigate the research topic. The research subjects include 15,400 SGU students, 20 management staff, experts, and 14 physical education lecturers, both from within and outside SGU. The research findings indicate that the conditions for implementing the physical education program for SGU students do not meet the legal requirements in Vietnam for facilities (0.52 m² per student) and staff (1,040 students per lecturer). The physical education curriculum for SGU students is developed in compliance with the Ministry of Education and Training's regulations; nonetheless, it lacks sufficient diversity and richness to fulfill the students' needs.
