  ABSTRACT: In order to examine the influence of self-esteem on the disengagement of students in EPS, 305 girls and 456 boys from Catholic schools of humanities (experimental group), 116 girls and 133 boys from consular schools (control group) have answered the questionnaire from Ninot et al. (2000). The averages of the two groups were compared using student test. The results showed that subjects in the experimental group showed low values of global self-esteem, the physical value, strength, endurance and athletic competence. These results indicate a parallel disengagement significantly remarkable EPS for girls and boys in the experimental group compared to their counterparts in the control group. These results suggest that the low value of self-esteem is the disengagement factor in EPS within Catholic schools of humanities in Kinshasa.
