	The educational system in Taiwan is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. The system produces pupils with some of the highest test scores in the world, especially in mathematics and science. It has been criticised for placing excessive pressure on students and eschewing creativity in favour of rote memorization. Recent educational reforms intended to address these criticisms are a topic of intense debate in Taiwan.		The educational system in Taiwan is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education.

	''Taiwan'', more correctly called (by many but not all) the '''Republic of China''' (ROC) is a country in East Asia that has evolved from a single-party state with full global recognition into a multi-party democratic state with limited international recognition. It was a founding member of the United Nations.		''Taiwan'', more correctly called (by many but not all) the '''Republic of China''' (ROC) is a country in East Asia that has evolved from a single-party state with full global recognition into a multi-party democratic state with limited international recognition. It was a founding member of the United Nations.

	Established in 1912, the Republic of China originally encompassed much of mainland China and Outer Mongolia. In 1945 at the end of World War II the Republic of China added the island groups of Taiwan and the Penghu islands to its authority. These island groups, together with Kinmen and Matsu, became the full extent of the Republic of China's authority after 1949 when the Kuomintang (KMT) lost the Chinese Civil War. The KMT lost the war to the Chinese Communist Party which then founded the People's Republic of China (PRC) in mainland China. Under ROC law, these areas currently under ROC jurisdiction are known as the "Free Area of the Republic of China."

	In contrast with junior high and high school, where students are pressured by the highly selective entrance exams, college life in Taiwan is generally seen as being rather relaxed. Graduate degrees from the U.S. and Europe are also highly prized with many students applying to foreign graduate schools after completing university (though the number has declined somewhat in recent years). An average of 13000 university graduates per year choose to pursue graduate studies in the U.S.		In contrast with junior high and high school, where students are pressured by the highly selective entrance exams, college life in Taiwan is generally seen as being rather relaxed.

	== Quality assurance ==		== Quality assurance ==

			The '''Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan''' (HEEACT) was established in December 2005. Commissioned by the Ministry, its first task was to conduct a nation-wide university program evaluation, and to set the groundwork for promoting ranking of research performance.

			Beginning in 2006 and with every five years as one cycle, HEEACT will conduct evaluation on 78 comprehensive universities and their more than 2,000 programmes. In the first year, 17 universities of education, fine arts, and physical education, and on a total of 370 programs were evaluated.

			For those HEIs that do not pass the evaluation for two consecutive years, the Ministry will enforce the exit mechanism and ask that program to terminate enrollment and cease to operate. The main criteria for the evaluation are: 1, aim, features and self-improvement; 2, curricula design and teaching; 3, learning and student affair; 4, research and professional performance; the performance of graduates.

			The [[National Science and Technology Program for e-Learning in Taiwan]] is a multi-agency programme much broader than e-learning in HE, but of considerable interest.

			It is a five-year programme which started in 2003. The first phase lasted from 2003 to 2007 and the National Science Council has also planned the second phase, the promotion phase (2008-2012).

			There are seven operational programmes in ELNP, including: "e-learning for everyone", "narrowing the
			digital divide", "mobile learning devices", "internet-based industrial park for e-learning (e-learning park)", "advanced
			e-learning technology R&D", "fundamental research on learning and cognition in e-learning", and "policy guidance
			and manpower cultivation".
