(Taipei, April 28, CNA) The Ministry of Education (MOE) will invest over 100 million NTD in the 2025 fiscal year to help special education resource rooms improve their spaces. By utilizing inclusive education and universal design, the ministry aims to create forward-looking and multifunctional teaching environments.
In a press release today, the MOE pointed out that it has expanded subsidies to 142 schools in 114th year (2025), with a total budget of 104.28 million NTD. Collaborating with local governments, the ministry is working to optimize resource room spaces and build friendly campuses.
Unlike traditional isolated special education classes, recent years have focused more on the concept of 'Inclusive Education,' encouraging students with disabilities to learn together with regular students. During the design phase, 'Universal Design' principles are introduced so that spaces can be used to the greatest extent by everyone.
Nan-tou Elementary School has created a comprehensive resource room environment that emphasizes 'learning through play.' It features a large creative LEGO wall to strengthen students' sensory development and social practice. The classroom uses low, transparent bookshelves to ensure no blind spots in the field of vision, making it easy for teachers to observe students.
Hsin-shih Junior High School in Tainan City transformed a 57-year-old classroom into a high-quality 'Fantasy Classroom.' The design team opened up the old sloped roof to create a high-ceiling, comfortable space, using forest and greenery elements along with wood and soft lighting to reduce the cold feel of traditional classrooms.
The MOE stated that the improvement of facilities and equipment is not just a hardware upgrade; it symbolizes the education system's commitment to and valuing of special education. The ministry will continue to promote improvement plans so that every student can achieve self-development in a friendly, inclusive, and creative environment.
