Introduction: The Indone-sian young must be prepa-red to contribute to the promotion of social welfa-re, equity and fairness, but this preparation requires Physical Education (PE), as a whole child develop-ment beyond classroom confines, and is consistent with UNESCO’s 4th goal of Sustainable Development.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to consider the transformative potential of PE in relation to social inclusion, emotional health, and equity for all young people, particularly for those from marginalis-ed groups.
Methodology: A scoping review method was used to systematically search literature emanating from several reputable sources such as peer-reviewed journals and reports of reputable organizations such as the UNESCO and WHOhighlighting the im-pact of PE on social equity and welfare of young people.
Discussion: The results show that inclusive PE activities can promote the development of shared goals, resilience, and emo-tional intelligence. Yet, gender gaps and social constraints in the accessi-bility prevent girls from attending and, children from the vulnerable com-munities are left behind. To reverse this trend, we work at community level and use gender-sensitive teaching methodologies.
Conclusion: PE is identi-fied as an important agent for social transformation and youth empowerment in Indonesia in the meta-review. Rising to systemic challenges through inclusi-ve curricula, teacher pre-paration, and equitable resource provision and access will help all youth to avail themselves of the benefits of physical activi-ty, promoting a more equi-table society.
