Kanagawa Prefectural Board of Education (神奈川県教育委員会) is the board of education of the Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
The board consists of six members; one of them is elected as the chair (教育委員長), and one of them is appointed by the board as the superintendent (教育長).
The board administers municipal education. It also directly operates high schools in the prefecture.
The board has recently banned all incoming and outgoing exchange students due to concerns involving the H1N1 outbreak.
Famous quotes containing the words board and/or education:
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A good education is another name for happiness.”
—Ann Plato (1820–?)
