Education
Gambang had been developed to be an Education City since the past ten years starting with the building of Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi Malaysia (KUKTEM) or now known as Universiti Malaysia Pahang. After Universiti Malaysia Pahang was build, the Federal Government under the Ministry of Education had formed a foundation college here in Gambang, namely Kolej Matrikulasi Pahang.
Currently, the government is in the process of building a Universiti Teknologi MARA's branch in Gambang. The project had just been started.
Other than universities and colleges, a Sport's school is also here in Gambang. Sekolah Sukan Pahang (or known by the locals as Sekolah Sukan Gambang) is the third Sport's School formed after Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil and Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail. The school is located directly in front of Universiti Malaysia Pahang main entrance and beside Universiti Malaysia Pahang's forth college.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
