Nanjing has long been a national center of education, research, transport networks, and tourism. Nanjing has been the educational center in southern China for more than 1700 years. Currently, it boasts of some of the most prominent educational institutions in the region, a total of 41 universities and colleges.
Among these are the different types of universities: National Universities operated by the Ministry of Education, National Military universities, provincial universities as well as private colleges. There are 5 notable high schools in Nanjing:
1. Nanjing Foreign Language School (南京外国语学校)
2. High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University (南京师范大学附属中学)
3. Jinling High School (南京金陵中学)
4. Nanjing No.1 High School (南京第一中学）
5. Nanjing Zhonghua High School (南京中华中学）
One of the top schools, Jinling High School, founded by American missionaries in 1888 is a key school in Jiangsu province, honoured as a provincial and national model school. It is also one of the most prestigious and competitive national model schools in China. For more than a century, over 100,000 graduates have been groomed.
Some of the alumni include: people's educationist Tao Xingzhi, master architect and the designer of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum Lv Yanzhi, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former honorary chairman of its core scholar’s presidium, the thermo physicist Wu Zhonghua, economists Wu Jinglian and Li Yining, biologist Fu Xin-Yuan, mathematician and leader of differential coefficient geometry Tian Gang, Nobel laureate in Literature Gao Xingjian, and member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Qi Kang (architect). The school is hence widely acclaimed as a "cradle for the elite".
Nanjing also has a school dedicated to tourism; Jinling Institute of Hotel Management was founded in 1991 on the suggestion of Doc. Wu Qingrui, the former Singaporean Vice Premier and Tourism Consultant of Chinese government. It was the first professional hotel management institute authorized by the State Council and the National Ministry of Education of China. In 2001 it merged with Nanjing Tourism School, which was started 1978 and ranks as one of the earliest vocational tourism schools in China. Jinling Institute of Hotel Management (Nanjing Tourism School) is a training base for the hotel industry designated by China National Tourism Administration and the Labor Ministry. The institute provides for the hotel industry various kinds of training: pre-position training, post-position training, e.g. the training for hotel supervisors, general managers, etc.
The education system in Nanjing appears to be well-founded and competent, grooming students to success in today’s society, contributing to the great revitalization of China.
