School System in Taiwan

The Educational System The current education system supports 22 years of academic and vocational study. The education process includes 2 years of preschool education, 6 years of elementary school, 3 years of junior high school, 3 years of senior high school or senior vocational school, 4 -7 years of college or university, 1 -4 years for a master’s degree program and 2 -7 years for a doctoral degree program.

Compulsory Education The MOE introduced compulsory education in 1968 with a 9 -year program which included 6 years of elementary education and 3 years of junior high. In a nationwide trial of a 10 -year compulsory education program aimed at integrating the curricula of junior and senior high schools and vocational schools, junior high school students who prefer vocational training can select 2 years of vocational training instead of having the last year of junior high school. To develop a more complete educational environment with less academic burdens for students, the MOE is preparing to implement a 12 -year basic education program that will integrate elementary school, junior high school and senior high or vocational school in the School Year (SY) of 2014.

Senior High and Vocational Education Senior high or vocational education comes after junior high school in Taiwan. Both senior high and vocational schools provide 3 years of academic and vocational education & training. Vocational schools offer courses in several subject areas such as agriculture, industry, commerce, marine studies, home economics and fine arts.

Junior College Education A junior college offers students a 2 or 5 -year program, each with a different set of admission requirements. The 5 -year program accepts graduates from junior high schools, while the 2 -year system accepts senior high and vocational school graduates.

Teacher Education Programs Taiwan's teacher education system used to be divided into two tiers of divisions. Graduates of normal universities are qualified to teach at junior and senior high schools; graduates of universities of education are qualified to teach at preschools and elementary schools. Since Teacher Education Law was revised in 1994, all universities can apply to the MOE to the capacity of preparing preschools, elementary and secondary schools teachers.

University/College Programs University/College undergraduate programs require 4 years of study, and students who cannot successfully finish their studies within this period can apply for an extension of up to 2 years. Other specialized profession’s undergraduate programs, such as architecture, law, dentistry or medicine, mostly take 5, 6, or 7 years, often including 1 year of internship.

Graduate University/College Programs Graduate programs require 1 -4 years for a master’s degree and 2 -7 years for a doctoral degree, depending on students’ academic research and performance. Students who hold jobs and take postgraduate programs as part of an on-the-job training program can apply for an extension if they aren’t able to complete their required courses on time or to finish their thesis or dissertation.

Special Education Programs Only certain schools or educational institutions are allowed to accept students with special needs. Special education in elementary school is at least 6 years; in junior high school, 3 years; and in senior high and senior vocational school, 3 years. Special classes are also offered by regular educational institutions, including elementary, junior and senior high schools.

Supplementary Education Supplementary education provides citizens with another window of opportunity to achieve their educational goals. It is divided into three main categories: basic education, advanced education and short-term supplementary education. The study durations vary with the curriculum design for each category.
