The educational system in Taiwan is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. The organization produces pupils with some of the highest test scores in the world, especially in mathematics and science.^{[2] [three]} Old president Ma Ying-jeou announced in January 2011 that the government would begin the phased implementation of a twelve-year compulsory education program by 2014.^[4]

In 2015, Taiwanese students achieved one of the globe's best results in mathematics, science and literacy, every bit tested by the Plan for International Student Assessment (PISA), a worldwide evaluation of 15-yr-onetime school pupils' scholastic functioning. Taiwan is one of the top-performing OECD countries in reading literacy, mathematics and sciences with the average student scoring 523.7, compared with the OECD boilerplate of 493, placing it seventh in the world and has one of the world'due south most highly educated labor forces among OECD countries.^{[5] [6] [vii]} Although current law mandates merely nine years of schooling, 95 percent junior high school students get on to a senior vocational loftier school, trade school, junior higher, or academy.^{[eight] [9]}

In Taiwan, adhering to the Confucian paradigm for education where parents believe that receiving a good teaching is a very high priority for Taiwanese families and an important goal in their children's life.^[10] Many parents in Taiwan believe that endeavor and persistence matters more than innate power if their children desire to receive better grades in school.^{[11] [12]} These behavior are shared by the teachers and guidance counselors and the schools every bit they regularly keep the parents abreast on their child'due south overall academic performance in the school. Many parents accept high expectations for their children, emphasize academic achievement and actively intervene in their children's bookish progress by making certain that their children receive top grades and would go on to slap-up sacrifices including borrowing coin to put their child through university.

Due to its role in promoting Taiwan's economic evolution, loftier test results, and high university entrance charge per unit, Taiwan's pedagogy organisation has been praised. 45 percent of Taiwanese aged 25 to 64 concord a bachelor's caste or higher.^{[13] [14]} Furthermore, the education system has been criticized for its overemphasis on rote memorization and excessive academic pressure it places on students. Students in Taiwan are faced with immense pressure to succeed academically from their parents, teachers, peers, and order in order to secure prestigious white collar chore positions while eschewing vocational education, critical thinking, and creativity. With a narrow bandwidth of prestigious job positions and a far greater number of academy graduates seeking them, many accept been employed in lesser positions with salaries far below their expectations.^[15] Taiwan's universities have too been criticized for non keeping upward with the technological trends and employment demands in its fast moving task marketplace referring to a skills mismatch cited by a number of cocky assessed and overeducated university graduates.^[sixteen] In improver, the Taiwanese government has been criticized for undermining the economic system every bit it has been unable to create enough jobs to support the demands of the numerous unemployed academy graduates.^{[17] [eighteen]}

History [edit]

The Dutch East Bharat Company, the Ming Chinese loyalists under Koxinga, Qing China, and the Japanese all implemented education systems on Taiwan.^[19] Christianity was taught nether Dutch rule.^[xx] Taiwan also had many academies, such as Daodong Academy, Fongyi Academy, Huangxi Academy, Jhen Wen Academy, Mingxin University and Pingtung Academy.

In 1944-1945, the Republic of China under the Chinese Nationalist Party led by Chiang Kai-shek took control of the isle; the existing individual schoolhouse infrastructure was curtailed over suspicions of its political loyalty. Subsequently the retreat of the ROC to Taiwan in 1949, they sought to use public schools to assimilate the Taiwanese population; private schools, seen as an obstacle to this process, were suppressed. Past 1954, yet, the party yielded to calls for education reform, and began to revitalize and expand private schooling. The Nationalists used a number of measures (such as filling school boards with loyalists and careful control of state funding) to ensure that private schooling remained nether land influence.^[21]

Public education [edit]

The public education organisation in Taiwan spans nursery schools through university. Public education has been compulsory from primary school through junior high school since 1968. In 2001 roughly sixteen% of the fundamental upkeep was spent on education. In January 2011, President Ma announced plans to implement a full twelve-year compulsory education program by 2014.^[4] In addition, financial support for preschool education would begin, starting with fee waivers.^[four]

Access to loftier school and university is controlled by a series of national exams. Discipline in public schools of all levels is generally very tight with schoolhouse uniforms and morning time reveille being the norm. Students of all levels through loftier school are responsible for cleaning their own classrooms and areas effectually the school, cleanup time being a daily ritual. Corporal punishment is officially banned, but many reports suggest it is still practiced by many teachers, due in no small part to the fact that most parents back up information technology.

The school year consists of 2 semesters. The fall semester begins in early September and runs till late January or early Feb. Winter vacation typically runs from three to four weeks around the Lunar New year. Jump semester begins following the Lantern Festival in mid February and ends in late June. From center schoolhouse on, many schools agree "optional supplementary classes" during winter and summer vacation as well as after normal school hours. Despite the name, in many cases participation is compulsory. The linguistic communication of instruction is Mandarin.

School grades [edit]

The school yr is divided into two semesters. The offset begins in the beginning of September and ends in January; the second begins in mid February and ends in tardily June.

National Educational activity [edit]

The current national basic education in Taiwan is 12 years education. The implementation of this compulsory education replaces the old nine years didactics.^[22]

The 12 years education policy was originally proposed in 1983, just was delayed for financial reasons.

Simple Schoolhouse [edit]

Simple schools bridge grades one through half dozen, classes are held from Monday through Friday, typically from 7:xxx AM through 4PM (or noon on Wednesdays). Subjects include:

• Mandarin: The official language of didactics.
• Mathematics: Mathematics education begins with the basics and reaches introductory algebra and geometry by the 6th grade.
• Scientific discipline: Comprehensive scientific discipline classes covering basic biological science, physics, and chemical science.
• English: English is a compulsory discipline within the mainstream schoolhouse system from Grade three Elementary School and up.
• Native languages: Additional language classes in Taiwanese and Hakka Chinese are offered.
• Social studies
• Music
• Fine art

Like heart schools, students are typically assigned to the elementary schoolhouse closest to their registered place of residence. This leads some parents to file their children's household registration with other relatives or friends for the purpose of sending their children to what are perceived as improve schools.

Junior high school [edit]

Junior high school spans grades vii through 9 and is the last one-half of compulsory education. Junior high students typically focus on preparing for the national senior high school entrance exams at the end of ninth grade. School ends around 5PM, but students often stay in school subsequently for quizzes and additional test preparations.

Subject area matter covered includes:

• Literature: Classical and modern Chinese literature and verse, limerick and public speaking.
• Mathematics: Covers single and two variable algebra, geometry, proofs, trigonometry, and pre-calculus.
• English: Contains essential English language grammar
• Science & Applied science
  • Biology: Taken during first year, includes more in depth studies and lab work.
  • Chemistry: Taken during second year. More than rigorous introduction to atoms, molecule, and chemical reactions, including lab work.
  • Physics: Taken during second year. More rigorous introduction to physical laws and equations, including lab work.
  • Earth Science: Taken during third year.
  • Technology: Taken during the whole 3 years. Introduce some basic technology in daily life.
• Social Studies
  • Civics: Basic demotics, politics, and economics.
  • History: Focus on the history of Taiwan and China during the get-go two years, and world history during third year.
  • Geography: Contain introductive geography accompanied with geography of Taiwan during first twelvemonth, geography of Cathay and East asia during second yr, and the world geography during third twelvemonth.
• Dwelling house economics & crafts
• Art: Inclusive of three independent parts: Fine Fine art, Music, and Drama.
• PE
• Scout instruction: Outdoor survival skills.

At the end of their third year, students participate in the national senior loftier school archway exams and are assigned to senior high schools based upon their scores. Students may as well participate in a separate national vocational school entrance test if they wish to attend vocational schoolhouse. In both cases, public schools are commonly the most popular while individual schools have traditionally been viewed as a backup for those unable to score loftier enough for public schools.

Roughly 94.7% of junior high school students continue on to senior loftier or vocational school.

Regular senior high school [edit]

Senior high school spans grades x through 12, again the main goal of students is to score highly on the national university archway exams at the stop of their third year. The footstep is just equally, if not more than intense than junior high school.

Field of study in educational institutions from loftier school and up (including vocational schools) is the responsibility of war machine officers stationed at the individual schools (as opposed to uncomplicated and junior high school where teachers and school administrators were responsible for field of study). In addition to the normal subjects, students are likewise required to attend a military machine instruction class covering issues such as ceremonious defense, war machine drills, national defence, and basic firearms. In the by, high (and vocational) school students were expected to take on ceremonious defense duties in the event of national emergency. Boys and girls were trained to use firearms and hurl grenades.

In many high schools incoming students may select science or liberal arts tracks depending on where their interests lie. The different learning tracks are commonly referred to every bit groups. Group I consists of liberal arts students, Group Ii and Group Three of science based students (the latter studies biology as an additional discipline). Science based curriculum consists of more rigorous scientific discipline and mathematics classes intended to ready the student for a career in the sciences and engineering; the liberal arts track places a heavier accent on literature and social studies to set up students for a futurity in those fields. Frequently, students in Group I are exempted to study scientific discipline fifty-fifty if they wish to, and students in Group II are not required to accept geography, civics and history.

Entrance to university is administered via two methods: by recommendations or past taking the national university entrance exam. For those that participate in recommendations, they have to have a national academic exam and select a list of majors that they are applying to. The first stage is a screening of test results for eligibility and the second stage would be dependent on the conditions of individual departments selected. For those that did not choose to take the recommendations procedure, or take failed their applications, they have the selection to participate in the national academy entrance exams later on graduation in hopes of university admission. Students who graduate from a senior high schoolhouse normally stop upward taking upwards the national university entrance examination to enter a general four yr university. They can as well apply to junior colleges, an institute of technology, or a university of science and technology as an alternative choice.^[23]

Skill-based senior high schoolhouse [edit]

In June 2016, "vocational high schools" were renamed as skill-based senior high schools. Vocational training and related career choices are introduced through class electives in lower secondary school.^[24] Skill-based senior loftier schools are iii-year institutions that are like to regular senior high schools. Unlike regular senior high schools, they place a heavier emphasis on practical and vocational skills.^[25] These schools offering a diverseness of programs that cater to the needs of students with dissimilar abilities and skills. Skill-based senior high schools offer programs that are organized into half dozen different categories: agriculture, industry, business, marine products, everyday life sphere, and fine art.^[26] Graduates of senior skill-based senior high schools tin choose to enter the workforce, start their own business, or go on to higher education. Senior skill-based senior high school graduates can apply to junior colleges, institutes of engineering science, and universities of science and technology. They can also take the national university entrance exams to enter general four-yr universities.^[27]

Higher education [edit]

Academy [edit]

University entrance is the traditional road taken past Taiwanese students to enter the gateway of higher education as information technology is past far the most prestigious form of higher education in Taiwan. Since 2008, the pct of high school graduates inbound academy has exceeded 95 percent.^{[28] [29] [30] [31]} The Taiwanese higher educational activity organisation is similar to the American higher education organisation. Since the 1990s many trade schools and junior colleges accept been "promoted" to university status as results of a series of educational reform, which can account for the Taiwan'south high university entrance rate.^[28] Fifty-fifty though a loftier score is desired every bit an admission criterion to the nations most esteemed and prestigious institutions, equally consequences of such reforms, the task market is flooded with unemployed university graduates.^{[32] [33] [18]}

Taiwan has many universities, both public and private. Tuition is less expensive in public universities than in private universities, like in virtually western countries. Many public universities receive financial back up from the government. There are currently five University alliances in Taiwan, intentionally modeled after other educational systems such as the Academy of California system. NTNU is the internationally top-ranked university for linguistics peculiarly for foreigners interested in learning (advanced) Mandarin,^[36] likewise as other institutes for serious Standard mandarin learning opportunities for foreigners.^[37]

Nowadays some individual schools are supported past commercial groups or religious bodies (such as Fu Jen Cosmic Academy, Tzu Chi Academy).

Engineering is popular, and engineering degrees account for over a quarter of the available'southward degrees awarded in Taiwan. Information technology is besides related to future employment opportunities considering of the government policy focusing on high-tech manufacturing industries.

International programs in Taiwan include bachelor'southward, master's and PhD degree programs targeted at students from abroad.

Vocational [edit]

Vocational education in Taiwan is offered at junior colleges, institutes of technology, and at universities of science and engineering where they can earn associate degrees to doctoral degrees.^[39] There are currently 87 institutions in Taiwan that offer vocational training.^[twoscore] The Ministry of Education has been promoting vocational education and trying to persuade young Taiwanese to consider vocational schools every bit an alternative route to attending university.^[24]

Junior colleges [edit]

Junior colleges can be classified into 5-twelvemonth junior colleges and two-year junior colleges co-ordinate to entry requirement.

They likewise have students who have completed a vocational program during high school. Upon graduation, students are awarded an associate degree.^[43] Graduates of 2 twelvemonth inferior colleges can choose to enter the workforce, start their own business, pursue additional studies at a two-year institute of technology program in a department of their choice or choose to pursue additional education at a iv-yr university.^[44]

Institutes of Engineering and Universities of Science and Engineering [edit]

Under the University Deed, institutes of technology and universities of science and engineering science offer associate's, available'due south, master'south, and doctoral degree programs.^[45] Both institutes of applied science and universities of science and engineering science admit students who have graduated from a junior college or those holding a similar academic qualification and have undertaken an entrance exam.^[46] 2 twelvemonth and 4 twelvemonth bachelor programs at institutes of engineering and universities of science and engineering science. A bachelor'southward degree is awarded to a student who has completed 128 credit hours after graduating from a iv bachelor'due south caste program. Two year bachelor's degree programs are for students who already hold an associate caste and have completed fourscore credit hours. Master's degrees require an additional 24 credits while PhD students have to complete an additional 18 credits forth with a dissertation.^[47]

Private education [edit]

Private educational institutions are pervasive in Taiwan ranging from private schools at all levels to supplementary cram schools or buxiban.

Cram schools [edit]

With the intense pressure level placed on students to achieve by parents, many students enroll in private after-schoolhouse classes intended to supplement their regular teaching. These cram schools are an extremely big (and profitable) business concern in Taiwan and accept been criticized past some as existence the issue of cultural overemphasis on academic achievement.^[48] Popular subjects in cram schools include English, mathematics, and physics. Cram schools are mostly popular amongst junior and senior high schoolhouse students.^[49]
