Tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies have been available since December 2007, and tickets for competitions will also be available soon.

Paralympic Education

By now, China has set up and named 556 Olympic Education Model Schools, all of which have rolled out Paralympic education curricula. BOCOG has also developed the "Heart-to-Heart" program, linking 162 middle schools and primary schools with Paralympic committees in 159 countries and regions.
