history education
- 台灣中小學於今年新學期,會使用新的教育課程綱要,但歷史課程卻引起爭議,上周五是台初中和高中開學日,嘉義大學歷史系教授吳昆財等學者召開記者會,批評新課綱下的高中一年級歷史課本「去中國化」,甚至是「台獨工程」。吳昆財指出,新歷史教科書有三個問題,第一是民族上「去中國」,用南島語族取代中華民族。第二在文化上去中國中心論,把中華文化降為跟東洋、西洋和其他外來文化同等地位。第三是治理上去中國,直接否定《開羅宣言》和《波茨坦宣言》,也就是否認中華民國治理台灣的基礎。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20190901/00178_004.html

- 受少子化問題影響,台灣大專院校亦面臨收生不足的難題。台教育部周五公布今年大專院校首階段的校務資訊,有九間私立大專院校的註冊率連續兩年不足六成,另有十五間公立大專院校新生註冊率不足九成。去年十七間大專院校新生註冊率不到六成,今年大減為九間,教育部高教司司長朱俊彰解釋,今年按照多名校長要求,把境外入讀生也計算在內,認為更符合現實。加上有學校積極到東南亞國家招生,數據才得以改善。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20181229/00178_028.html- 台北世新大學

In response to the loss of the school’s identity, a group of distinguished alumni in Taiwan resolved to restore their alma mater in Taipei. In 1961, with the approval of the American Episcopal Church in Taiwan, the alumni of St. John’s University, in conjunction with the alumnae of the former St. Mary’s Hall of Shanghai, enthusiastically donated money to purchase land in the town of Tamsui in Taipei County for the school campus. In 1967, The Ministry of Education authorized the school to open as a five-year junior college of Industry and named it after its location, Hsin-pu (新埔). Nonetheless, its English name—St. John’s & St. Mary’s Institute of Technology—continued to honor the history and traditions of the alumni’s two illustrious alma maters.

National Cheng Kung University (NCKU國立成功大學)[note 1] is a research-led comprehensive university in TainanTaiwan. It is named after the given name of Koxinga, a Chinese military leader who drove the Dutch colonists from Taiwan and founded the Kingdom of TungningL'université nationale Cheng Kung est une université publique taïwanaise, se situant dans la ville de Tainan. Son abréviation est NCKU, du nom anglais National Cheng Kung University. En chinois, le nom est résumé à 成大 (pinyin: chéng dà). Elle porte le nom de Zhèng Chénggōng, qui a vaincu les Néerlandais et fondé le Royaume de Tungning, premier régime d'occupation d'origine chinoise de l'histoire de l'îleNCKU est une des plus prestigieuses universités à Taiwan avec une solide réputation en science, ingénierie, médecine et management. Selon le Times Higher Education1, elle est classée deuxième ou troisième des universités du pays. De nombreuses études à travers les années ont montré que ses étudiants étaient très convoités par les entreprises taïwanaises.
L'Université nationale Cheng Kung a été inaugurée sous l'occupation japonaise en janvier 1931comme université technique de Tainan (臺南高等工業學校, renommée de 1942 à 1945 臺南工業專門學校). Après la fin de l'occupation japonaise, l'école a été renommée Université provinciale junior de technologie de Taiwan (台灣省立台南工業專科學校), puis Université provinciale d'ingénierie de Taiwan (台灣省立工學院).Quand le gouvernement central de la république de Chine a déménagé à Taiwan en 1949, NCKU était une des trois universités taïwanaises. Le nombre augmentant, elle a été renommée université provinciale en 1956 puis université nationale en 1971.

National Tsing Hua University (NTHU; 國立清華大學) is a research university located in Hsinchu City, TaiwanThe university was first founded in Beijing. After the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following defeat by the Communist Party of China in the Chinese Civil War, NTHU was re-established in Hsinchu City in 1956.In 1955, the President of Tsinghua University in Beijing, Mei Yi-chi left and re-established the National Tsing Hua Institute of Nuclear Technology in Hsinchu city, and later based on the foundation of the original institute, National Tsing Hua University was founded in Taiwan. The two Tsinghua universities both claim to be successors of the original Tsinghua University. As a result of this dispute, the universities claimed to be the rightful recipient of the funds from the Boxer Rebellion indemnity that was used to start Tsinghua University. This indemnity was transferred to the university in Taiwan after the Nationalist government (Kuomintang) retreated to Taiwan. Today, both Tsinghua universities have deep mutual cooperation, including an establishment of Tsinghua Strait Research Institute, dual degree program, MOOCprogram, and academic exchange program.

  • 清華一直以紫,白二色作為自己的顏色,是否經過學校正式決議,目前尚未查知,但在最早的英文校歌上(1916年以前)即已有了這樣的句子:O Tsing Hua, fair Tsing Hua, college bright, May we be loyal to the purple and the white.
  • 人們習慣把紫荊丁香視為清華的校花,但未見諸典籍,可能只是一種約定俗成。
     
    1916年除夕聞一多所在的中等科曾以「Much Ado about Nothing」為劇名,參加校內演劇競賽獲優勝獎,這個劇的中文題名即為「紫荊魂」,可能也與讚頌紫荊的品性有關。至今清華校園活動裡,「紫荊魂」一劇依然常被重新演出。把這兩種花視為校花,首先是由於它們與校旗,校色的顏色一致,(紫荊花為紫色,丁香花分為紫白二色);其次是由於這兩種花都是在校慶日前後盛開。亦有校友曾在校友通訊上建議,定紫荊丁香為校花。

National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST國家中山科學研究院) is a Taiwanese state owned corporation, formerly part of the Republic of China Ministry of National Defense's Armaments Bureau, which has been active in the development, manufacturing, and sale of various weapons systems and dual use technologies. NCSIST was established by the Republic of China government to serve as a military R&D and systems integration center. In 2014 it became an administrative corporation owned by the Government of Taiwan. Prior to the establishment of NCSIST Taiwan has a poorly organized national defense industrial program but the nation was faced with an increasing military threat from the People’s Republic of China and a drawdown in international support and exclusion from international forums. The Republic of China would need to build its own set of hardware, instruments, laboratories, and test sites if it was to secure its independence and security.[5]Preparation for the NCSIST began in 1965, ground was broken on the Shinshin Campus in 1966, and the institute was formally inaugurated in 1969. Early work includes various missile and radar systems, as well as systems integration for ROC military aircraft and ships. The NCSIST was also, and remains, active in military construction.[6]After the United States switched diplomatic recognition from the Republic of China to the People’s Republic of China the Institute became even more important as Taiwanese authorities felt they could no longer view the United States as a reliable defense partner.

school closures due to fall in youth population
- 少子化浪潮近年席捲台灣,從二○一四年至今已有五所大專院校先後停辦,多間私立中學及職業學校亦陸續宣布停辦或轉型。有學者指出,少子化及大環境不佳令辦學困難,若無法轉型成功,相關學校將被後續更嚴重的少子化浪潮吞沒。有五十二年歷史、位於屏東的私立職業學校「華洲工家」,上周日正式向台灣教育部申請停辦。現任校長洪伯儒表示,父親開辦學校是因應當年嬰兒潮,坦言「少子化」確實是目前停辦的主要原因。該校三個科僅招收了個位數學生,三個年級的學生只有一百多人。洪伯儒推測未來學生人數會更少。洪伯儒家族經營的另一所學校「高鳳數位學院」,同樣因招生不足於二○一四年停辦,亦是台灣第一所停辦的大專院校。樹德科技大學應用設計研究所助理教授陳雯萍稱,校方都設法轉型找出路,發揮學校優勢招生。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20191019/00178_014.html
