Each school in Malaysia observes a uniform Physical Education curriculum (PE) through the use of standard textbooks and given standardised teaching and learning times. However, reports on PE implementation in schools shows different levels of implementation of the PE curriculum. To determine the levels and reasons for these differences, this study examines the level of PE implementation in primary schools in Selangor based on five factors assessed using the Standard Kualiti Pendidikan Malaysia 2010 (SKPM 2010). A total of 111 primary Head of Physical Education Panel in the selected schools in Selangor participated in answering the questionnaire. Results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences for each factor (leadership and vision p = .0001; p = .0001 organisational management, curriculum, co-curricular and sports, and student welfare p = .0001; p = teaching and learning. 0001; student producibility p = .0001) between schools based on the level of implementation of PE. Specifically, post-hoc analysis (Bonferroni) showed no significant difference in the student producibility irrespective of PE implementation. However, it showed that high levels of performance for each factor influenced high levels of PE implementation.
