Context: The irregularity of final-year students during Physical Education (PE) is a recurring phenomenon that worries the world of education. In Congo, it reveals several aspects sometimes unknown in other skies. Objective: This study highlights the different causes of student irregularity in PE practice at the Réconciliation High School in Brazzaville, Congo. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 194 students. A quantitative approach was carried out to analyze the questionnaire containing several items on the irregularity of learners in PE. Results: The results indicate that the reasons that cause the final year students of the Réconciliation High School not to attend practical PE lessons are mainly: illnesses, lack of sports clothing, distance from home, fatigue, and lack of punctuality. The other phenomena, on the other hand, are linked to teachers, notably the lack of commitment, or the injustice in the awarding of grades. Conclusion: It is appropriate to fight against this practice concerning Physical Education lessons and contribute to improving the climate in schools.
