General Administration of Sport of China

Established in 1952, the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC) is responsible for overseeing sports and physical education in China. While the organization does not have a direct role in higher education, it works closely with universities and colleges to develop sports programs and promote sports education.

In China, sports education is an important part of higher education. Many universities and colleges have dedicated sports departments and offer degree programs in sports science, sports management and related fields. The GASC provides guidance and support for these programs and works with universities to develop training programs for coaches, referees and other sports professionals.

In addition to promoting sports education in higher education, the GASC is also involved in promoting sports and physical activity more broadly in China. The organization works to develop grassroots sports programs and supports the development of elite athletes through its national sports teams and training centers. Overall, the GASC plays an important role in promoting sports and physical education in China and supporting the development of sports professionals at all levels.
