Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The most important source of success of the development of the Taiwanese education system lies in the fact that the education system was planned to grow in a manner that closely matched the changing requirements of the growing economy. The compulsory basic education was raised from six to nine years as early as in 1968, and is in expansion to 12 years nowadays. The secondary level curriculum was shifted towards vocational fields, the supply of university graduates was strictly limited, and the secondary and higher education curricula started to shift towards sciences and technical subjects. The levels above basic junior high level were expanded through the involvement of the private sector. The successful development of the Taiwanese education system is due to strategic pragmatism and the successful harmonisation of macroeconomic strategies. Planning of the development of education has been an integrant part of national economic planning, therefore Taiwanese economic policy has always determined the fruitful pragmatism of education policies. Taiwan has realised a pace of skill formation that is achieved within the space of one generation results which took the developed countries three generations to achieve. |
