SUMO – What people say… TRADITIONAL SUBJECTS SUCH AS ENGLISH AND MATHS ARE VITAL, HOWEVER EQUALLY IMPORTANT ARE SKILLS THAT DEVELOP A MORE POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO LIFE. YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RAISE THEIR ASPIRATIONS, DEAL WITH SETBACKS AND BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. THE SUMO4SCHOOLS PROGRAMME COVERS ALL OF THIS.
