School
The prestigious Qiandongnan National Polytechnic College is in Kaili. Currently it has four campuses with plans to move to a new campus outside of the city by Fall 2012. It is a technical school, consisting of majors such as nursing, accounting, forestry, hotel management, tourism, etc. The 2011-2012 school year marked the first year foreign teachers came to QNPC. The cross-cultural exchanges were vital in fostering a vibrant academic culture at QNPC.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
