Talk:Education in Taiwan/Archive 1

Title
This should be called "Education in the Republic of China" WhisperToMe 04:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Created as a redirect. It'll likely be controversial to move it. :-) &mdash; Instantnood 20:08, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * "Education in the Republic of China" is a more appropriate title.

Yup, the official name of the country is ROC, the MOE is a Ministry of the ROC, not "Taiwa"... should be renamedGumuhua (talk) 00:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that the China page says "Education in China". It'll be best to put aside the politics and just leave it to locale/region. --61.230.139.228 (talk) 23:11, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Reorganization
Someone may want to go over the new edits to check for accuracy, I'm working off memory for a lot of this and my personal experience only extends up to early high school. Also with all the reforms going on of late, there may have been changes that I have neglected. --Loren 19:40, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Template:Education infobox
I created a template, Template:Education infobox which can give a quick at a glance demographics table for education articles. See its implementation at Education in the United States and feel free to help improve the template.--naryathegreat | (talk) 01:00, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Errors in text?
I only noticed one, but there may me more... For example, check the section on Higher Education: Nonetheless a high score is desired as admission to the most prestigious institutions (such as National Taiwan University) is still highly selective.Byeee 19:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit war
is edit warring with me. The substantive differences between our versions are:


 * Saying ROC instead of Taiwan, and noting that the majority of the ROC is Taiwan.
 * Adding "in Taiwan" after "Japanese colonial period".
 * Misspelling "retro cession".
 * Adding the para about abolishing corporal punishment in schools.
 * Tagging "Taiwan has several universities" with fact.
 * Putting it in Category:Education in the Republic of China instead of Category:Education in Taiwan.

Please discuss which changes should be kept. --Ideogram 23:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I suggest you stop edit warring now. Posting on the talkpage doesn't make you the "good" side. Your aggressive edit pattern needs to be stopped.--Certified.Gangsta 06:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Also accusing others good faith edits as vandalism should not be tolerated. Please stop edit war!--Certified.Gangsta 06:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Move to Education in the ROC...
Suggested move, MOE depends of the ROC government, should use official titles in here, since we deal with an official government organizationGumuhua (talk) 00:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The article discusses much more than just the government run schools. The article should not be moved.  It is about all the education in the country, not just the government-run education.  Where government-run schools and the MOE are discussed, the ROC name can and should be used.Readin (talk) 20:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * On a related note, the first sentence of the article needs to change as the article is not about the ROC education system, but about education of all types in Tawian. Readin (talk) 20:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Error in percentage
I may be wrong, but what from I have read, 98% of students taking the university entrance exam get into higher education. In addition, I have heard that anything BUT a perfect 0 on the exam can get you into a higher education. According to the text, the percentage is only 66.6%. Can someone verify this? Chenhsi (talk) 03:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Lots of errors
There are a lot of errors in this article and it is biased. For example: "Unlike the slower pace of elementary school, junior high students typically have a single goal in life: to score high on the national senior high school entrance exams at the end of 9th grade" - this is a gross generalization and is simply not true. Most of the sweeping statements and opinion are not referenced. This article needs to be rewritten by an unbiased person who can support statements with facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.248.65.234 (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Public Education is NOT Compulsory
The article states that public education is compulsory for grades 1-9. This is incorrect. cf:http://www.hslda.org/hs/international/Taiwan/201103160.asp Presidentbalut (talk) 03:44, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Education system section
PhD programs in Taiwan generally last 4 years, not 2.Szqecs (talk) 06:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

middle school
The term middle school is used in the current version of the text but I fail to see an explanation. Is it grades 4-6? Needs a clarification I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loffy (talk • contribs) 10:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

When did compulsory education begin in Taiwan?
I'm asking this question here rather than the Compulsory education talkpage because I think I am more likely to get good answers to what may be a nuanced situation requiring local historical knowledge. The modern system of compulsory education began in 1968. But is that when compulsory education in general began? Did the occupation era 1898 Taiwan Education Act - which some sources describe as mandating compulsory education for Taiwanese - not introduce it in practice? Thanks in advance for any help.OsFish (talk) 05:36, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
