The Future Problem Solving
Programme
Future Problem Solving is a programme which
teaches students from Yr 4 – 13 critical, creative and
ethical thinking skills. Students grapple with global issues
or identify significant problems in their own community. They
then apply a creative problem solving process to come up with
an action plan to solve their identified underlying problems.

Future Problem Solving Evaluation
Our national evaluators provide quality comprehensive
written feedback to the teams to enhance their skills and
provide them with suggestions for further skills development.
The FPS students work on three global issues
a year. They complete a booklet that is then sent into the
National Office and distributed to the evaluators. The booklets
are received from the students at the end of Term One and
Two and in mid-September.
Evaluators receive a bundle of booklets, generally
6 – 8 booklets (fewer in the first year) and have three
weeks to complete the evaluations and return the booklets
to the National Office.
In early October, a second round of evaluation
to choose teams to attend the National Finals is held at the
National office in Orewa. Evaluators are invited to attend
this day if they wish. Evaluators are also invited to evaluate
at the National Finals, held in Auckland at the beginning
of November.
