| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育政策與行政研究所 === 102 === Because students are the major stakeholders of higher education tuition policy, many student groups’ express their objection by protest movements every year in Taiwan. For that reason, this study chooses some representative student groups in Taiwan for focusing group interviewing and individual interview as my research methods. The goal of this research is to assist more students in having access to high quality higher education by designing an optimal policy complete with of some opinions from major student groups in Taiwan. This study crafts a draft of “How to help Taiwanese students achieving their high quality higher education” policy after reviewing relevant educational theories, the current adjustments in tuition fees for higher education in Taiwan and the U.S., and the claims and arguments against the rise in tuition fees for higher education from those major Taiwanese student groups and some representatives of college student associations who advocate “education publicization” to strengthen the responsibility of government for education.
This policy draft consists of introduction, the background and context of higher education in Taiwan, and policy recommendations. This study adopts several suggestions from those major student groups in Taiwan to revise this educational policy draft in the part of policy recommendations, which include: 1. Increase tax burden and pay attention to the problems of tax evasion, especially the rich; 2. Disclose the formula of higher education’s funding distribution; 3. Lengthen the period of project-based grant funding; 4. Can’t deduct the original subsidies to those schools who have presented a significant improvement of quality but increased their tuition fees; 5. Be strict with student loan applications; 6. Review the interest
subsidies of student loans; 7. Prioritize the protection of students’ right in industry-university cooperation; 8. Maintain the independence of university operations; 9. Proceed data integration by NGOs; 10. Implement the “building the integration system of higher education data” as a top priority; 11. Add the proportion of disadvantaged students’ enrollment into the subsidy formula of top university; 12. Establish private schools their own characteristics and goals; 13. Help those private schools with unsatisfying performances to improve their qualities or to process their integrations. According to the above comments, the “How to help Taiwanese students achieving their high quality higher education” program is revised.
