Read the passage carefully and answer the next five questions strictly as per the passage:(33-37)
In the beginning of the annual academic planning for the school, a physical education com mittee meeting was held which included the school principal, teachers and students, alumni and parents. The agenda of the discussion was to plan for a comprehensive program for physical education and sports for all age groups and prepare a schedule of events along with recommendations for various sub-committees to conduct sports events. The team released the schedule of the events to be conducted in the current academic year. As per the interest and capabilities of students and teachers, various sub-committees were recommended. The sub-committee consisting of house-teachers and students provided feedback about concerns regarding draws and fixtures in intramural school tournaments where the best teams competed against each other in the initial round itself. The students also felt that sometimes the teams were not cohesive and did not display sportsman-like behaviour on or off the field. They felt such situations were unseemly and could be avoided through a systematic process. There was also a need to increase the coordination among the committees with more defined roles and responsibilities of each member. To provide exposure to the potential athletes and for talent development, a proposal was put forward for hosting a state-level inter-school competition at the school. To this end, the committees would need human resources, technical support and financial assistance. A new feature to the annual physical education programme was the conducting of a mass run for crowd funding.
