A wide range of Olympic and Paralympic-based learning resources, events and opportunities will be taken into all schools and colleges. These will be organised into eight main themes:

- Culture and creativity
- Enterprise
- Sustainability and regeneration
- Citizenship
- Internationalism
- Physical education and sport
- Healthy and active lifestyles
- Practical learning

In addition, schools and colleges will have the opportunity to utilise a series of web-based toolkits produced by London 2012 and its partners, to encourage children and young people to create clubs to use the Olympic and Paralympic values within their schools and colleges in ways that are relevant in their own lives.

 

London 2012 Chair Seb Coe said: 'There are about 30,000 education institutions in the country and we are creating four years¿ worth of collateral to engage, inspire and excite young people through education. We have been able to work with government and with our stakeholders to create a genuinely joined up plan that will include a huge range of activities from sport to vocational learning.
