Educational Reform in Taiwan: A Brighter American Moon?

Huang, Hsin-Ming (Samuel)

International Journal of Educational Reform, v8 n2 p145-53 Apr 1999

Since 1994, reform of Taiwan's educational system has taken two directions: "Taiwanization" (a refocus from Chinese nationalism to indigenous understanding) and "Americanization." This article examines the Americanization strand, highlighting changes in administration; teacher recruitment, training, and status; philosophy; curriculum; and privatization of higher education.
