An introduction of the Party School in China with the emphasis on Leadership Education

Party schools, known as the Party Schools of the Communist Party of China (CPC), are ed- ucational institutions used by the CPC to train party members and cadres. They are mainly responsible for training Party leading cadres at all levels, theoretical research and publi- cizing Party policies. Party schools are not only a place for cadres to learn important ideas such as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory, but they are also a place where discussions on important local topics are held (e.g., the development of China’s central and western regions, development of mountainous areas, enterprise development, and poverty alleviation topics).
