abstract = "Taiwan has gone through continual educational reforms since the 1990s. Its educational system is moving from uniformity to diversity, from authoritarian centralization to deregulation and pluralism. Several education-related laws and policies have been promulgated, amended, and implemented. Elementary and junior high schooling are compulsory for children from the ages of 6 to 15. The Ministry of Education is planning to make senior secondary schooling compulsory as well. Higher education policies have led to a substantial increase in the number of colleges and universities. In addition, special education and continuing education continue to be vigorously developed. However, Taiwan still has to resolve numerous issues related to different educational levels.",

note = "Funding Information: Over the last 10 years, revenue sources for Taiwan{\textquoteright}s higher education have undergone a significant transformation. Government funding for public colleges/universities have diminished from two-thirds to one-half of each public school{\textquoteright}s budget and less than one-third for private school budget. In addition to standard government funding, colleges/universities may receive special grants for research or instructional excellence from the government. The remainder of the school budget comes from the private sector, school service, and revenue from student fees. In 2006, the average tuition fees for full-time college/university students was US$1793 for public schools and US$ 3265 for private schools. The fees in public higher education schools was 12.74% and that in private ones was 23.21% as related to per capita income of US$ 14 070. The MOE supports the financially disadvantaged students with full scholarships, grants, and financial loans totaling nearly NT$ 10 billion per year. ",
