National Education plays a crucial role in the training of future generations, by preparing them to meet the challenges of tomorrow (…). It is obvious that the 2024 Olympic Games represent much more than a simple sporting competition. They are a celebration of excellence, self-improvement and unity (…). National Education and the Olympic Games are closely linked. Together they offer an extraordinary opportunity to stimulate young people's interest in sport, culture and knowledge. By integrating these values into our educational programs, and using the Olympic Games as a source of inspiration, we can inspire a generation to realize their full potential, both on the playing field and in the classrooms (…)
Together, by joining forces, we can create a lasting legacy for our nation, where education and sport complement each other to shape a better future for all but especially for our future citizen students that we train.” _AF
