(Central News Agency reporter Chen Chih-chung, Taipei, May 5th) The Ministry of Education recently selected 30 elementary and middle school teachers to travel to Singapore and Malaysia for a 9-day in-class exchange, hoping that upon their return, they can develop international education curricula with unique Taiwanese characteristics.
In recent years, elementary and middle schools have strengthened international education, encouraging schools to find overseas sister schools and through physical exchanges or online sharing activities, broaden students' horizons and cultivate globally competitive talents.
The Ministry of Education today issued a press release stating that from April 25th to May 3rd, it commissioned National Chi Nan University to select 30 outstanding elementary and middle school teachers from various counties and cities to travel to Singapore and Malaysia for exchange. The itinerary included visits to diverse types of schools, including American-style education systems, Japanese overseas schools, emerging international schools, and experimental independent secondary schools in Malaysia.
Before going abroad, the team specially planned a 2-day in-person training course to gain a deep understanding of Singapore's and Malaysia's historical and cultural contexts, education systems, and multicultural education philosophies, and arranged online dialogues to grasp the front-line teaching situation in advance. Subsequent group preparation and discussions were also conducted, starting from the perspectives of students at different learning stages to stimulate more diverse ideas for international education.
The Ministry of Education hopes that through this activity, outstanding Taiwanese teachers can draw inspiration from different cultural contexts and education systems, and further develop international education curricula with unique Taiwanese characteristics. Upon their return, an outcome workshop will be held to share practical results with the national teacher community, and to internalize, produce, and share their observations and experiences.
