Teachers in Vancouver will soon have the option of incorporating Olympic themes and teachings into the curriculum, following a Vancouver School Board decision to create a committee to look at how the Olympics will be taught in schools in the lead-up to the 2010 Vancouver games.
But vice-chair of the board Carol Gibson made it clear the Olympic curriculum will be based strictly on educational criteria.
"They are very concerned and very clear about what the educational value of a particular topic is, and they're also very professional, so [they are] unlikely to permit any commercialism into the classroom around that," Gibson told the CBC on Monday.
