Education and Students in Taiwan

Students in Taiwan, for the most part, are very respectful. The underlying principles of culture are rooted in the foundations of Confucianism where teachers and education are to be respected. In grade school, at the end of class, students are expected to stand and say in unison, "Thank You Teacher".

Times have changed in Taiwan just like any other country and students are motivated more out of respect and interest rather than through discipline or fear.

To connect with your students you need to be a good teacher. This takes time and energy.

Students in Taiwan excel in maths and sciences and traditionally have prescribed to wrote memorization techniques in learning. English has not been a priority in public education until recently and the Ministry of Education in Taiwan is working to create an effective English program in public schools around the nation.

Like many other countries, Taiwan's educational system begins with one to two years of preschool education, and then students attend elementary, junior high (middle school) and high school programs.

  • Elementary - grade 1 -6
  • Junior High School - grade 7-9
  • High School - grade 10-12

English does not become a compulsory subject until grade 3 in Taiwan.

After finishing compulsory education, students take national exams in order to receive senior secondary education, which includes three years of senior high school, three years of vocational high school, or five years of junior college.

To be accepted to post-secondary education, students have to take the Joint College Entrance Examination or other national exams. These tests are highly competitive. After graduation, if students choose to continue their education, they can take the exams required to enter graduate school.

Teacher Reviews

Danielle Bowes

Danielle Bowes “Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
