(Revised and promulgated by the Ministry of Education on November 3, 2008)
On November 3, 2008, the government began allowing people of mainland China to
attend extension education programs organized by Taiwan’s universities in Kinmen,
Matsu and Penghu. The government also eased restrictions on the student qualifications
and teaching credentials for domestic universities offering extension education
in the Mainland to facilitate the globalization of enterprise operations and the
internationalization of higher education.
Benefits: These measures will accelerate the development of the education
industry on Taiwan's outlying islands, expand on-the-job education opportunities
for the employees of Taiwanese businesses and provide new development space for
domestic universities.
