	Remi-Niyi Alaran: Taiwan lessons: Indigenising education is better (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Taiwan once faced a classic case of "brain drain." Despite government restrictions, a total of over 100,000 Taiwanese left to study abroad in the latter half of the 20th century.
		Taiwan's relatively positive experience with high-skilled migration was built on education policies launched in the 1950s, when the country began to invest in public and private education at a rate that far outstripped most countries with similar resources.
		Taiwan has economic policies that are coherently pro-Taiwanese people, and based on merchanisation and digitisation, state-sponsored infrastructure, and export-oriented merchantilism; we have anti-people policies that are incoherent (in all spheres), and based on mining rents and favours from primary production, as well as import-oriented consumption.

	Journal of Technology Education - Volume 2, Number 1
		A Perspective of Technology Education in Taiwan, Republic of China Lung-Sheng Lee A BRIEF REVIEW OF TAIWAN'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM The Republic of China was founded in 1911 and moved its seat of government from mainland China to Taiwan in 1949.
		As shown in Tables 1 (Ministry of Educa- tion, 1983a) and 2 (Ministry of Education, 1983b), the objectives and content of indus- trial arts education in Taiwan is undoubtedly industry-based and technology-oriented.
		Admittedly, since indus- trial arts education in Taiwan was greatly influenced by the USA in the 1950s,(3) it has appropriately been seen as an action-based study of functional literacy (like swimming in the above fable) in general education.

	welcome to CIDE
		Higher education in Taiwan went through the period of “elite type” and “mass type” as followed, shifting to so- called the period of “universal type” now.
		The current higher education system consists of research universities, comprehensive universities and technological universities; while the functions of the first two include teaching, research, service and extension, with an emphasis on research and teaching, the functions of the last emphasize technological education and research.
		In the last decade, the development of higher education in Taiwan has yielded incredible results quantitatively as well as qualitatively, which leads it to the shift of traditional elitism to universal education for the masses.

		Educational expenditures by the central government alone, which had increased at a rate of roughly 15 percent annually during the previous decade, leapt by almost 70 percent in school year 1968/69 to almost NT$ 977 million.
		Increases in educational expenditures at the level of hsien (county) and city governments were slightly larger in nominal terms, though smaller in relative terms since expenditures at this level constituted roughly one-half of all public educational expenditures during this era.
		Uniform national education policies such as Taiwan's 1968 reform might be expected to be the hardest to implement/enforce in non-urban areas, where they have the greatest potential impact but also face stronger norms (especially sexual biases) and often higher transportation and/or opportunity costs associated with schooling (see Section 2).

		As Taiwan enters the 21st century, it does not matter whether the goal is to sharpen the nation's competitive edge, improve its society, further develop its culture, preserve its ecological environment, elevate the stature of its citizens, or simply raise the overall quality of life.
		Concrete measures for relaxing educational policies will be carried out in many different areas—at all levels of schooling, in the establishment of schools by the private sector, in the very way in which society thinks, in the adjustments made to the educational administrative system, and in the raising of teachers' professionalism and independence.
		To raise the quality of education in Taiwan, teachers are being encouraged and promoted based on their teaching skills and research.
