context_page_description: Kinmen or Quemoy, officially Kinmen County, is an insular county in the Republic of China located just off the southeastern coast of mainland China. The county consists of the Kinmen Islands and the Wuqiu Islands more than 110 kilometres to the northeast. It is one of two counties under the streamlined Fujian Province of the Republic of China. The Kinmen Islands are located only about two kilometres east of the mainland city of Xiamen, and their strategic position has reflected the significant change of Cross-Strait relations from a battlefront to a trading point between mainland China and Taiwan. The county is claimed by the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan claims the Dadeng Islands, administered by China, as part of the county.

It is located in Jinning Township. The islands also have a satellite campuses of Ming Chuan University and National University of Kaohsiung. Secondary educational institutions include National Kinmen Senior High School and National Kinmen Agricultural and Industrial Vocational Senior High School. In total, there are 24 junior high schools, elementary schools and kindergartens.
  The Kinmen County Government have invested millions in education in Kinmen, with an average of NT$20,000 per student. Schools in the county also accept the growing number of Taiwanese students whose parents are doing business in Fujian. The county government has been striving to encourage universities in Taiwan Island and Mainland China to set up branches in the county, as well as to attract Chinese mainland students to study in Kinmen.
