The Future…• The belief is that we now live in an intelligence economy, not a knowledge

economy.

• It is how well people can think, solve problems, communicate and work in teams that are more important than simply how much you know.

• We must provide opportunities for developing children’s Thinking Skills & Personal Capabilities

• If we do not act, the obesity epidemic will continue, helping to fuel the looming health-care crisis and lowering the quality of educational achievement of our children.

• There is abundant evidence that regular physical activity benefits the brains and bodies of school-aged children.
