The purpose of this research is to discuss the possibility of Physical Education to reform Neoliberalism. Neoliberalism has led the education to inequality and disparity, where the education used to guarantee equality and minimum academic standards. Due to the introduction of the evaluation based on viewpoints which focused on interests and attitudes, students became unable to express their true feelings because they could not show that they were not interested in certain things or even disliked them. This has invited a situation where they have to pretend to be someone else rather than express their true feelings even among friends and in daily life. The following is necessary in order to modify the education based on Neoliberalism.
1. To fundamentally change the education system to become proactive in demanding the absolute equality.
2. It is important to be not only “the education to develop” but also “the education to produce”. The role of teachers is very important to achieve this.
3. In order to communicate with others with one’s true feelings, it is necessary to reform the evaluation based on viewpoints which intends to appraise interests and attitudes in the education system. The teachers should encourage the relationship where students can say their true feelings to each other and the role of the teachers should be to encourage them to keep challenging even if they suffer setbacks.
The possibility of Physical Education in order to change Neoliberalism is as follows;
1. The physical development depends on individuals, so they should be evaluated not by the ability to learn, but a positive appraisal of their physical development should be given to each student as he/she is.
2. To provide an environment where students are encouraged to express their true feelings by allowing them to express their negative feelings.
3. To create solidarity by teachers accepting everyone, which leads to accepting various personalities.
