“…However, there seems to be dissonance between what the concerned authorities had expected and what is currently happening in higher education institutions. Ironically, low quality education is perceived (Huang, 2003;Wang, 2003), with less qualified college students and high unemployment rates among college graduates observed. The overexpansion has led to an unobstructed entry to higher education institutions of senior high graduates formerly having little access to higher education institutions (Mok, 2000).…”

“…This has a direct impact, to a greater or lesser degree, on the overall student achievement along with the teaching quality of higher education institutions in Taiwan. A third factor contributing to less competent graduates under the influence of the overexpansion of higher education institutions is less budgetary funding of institutions from the government (Wang, 2003). In addition, resources allocated to each higher education institution are also decreasing (Huang, 2003).…”

“…Another problem accompanying the rising number of higher education institutions is high unemployment among graduates from higher education institutions (Wang, 2003). Under the impact of globalization, there is more intense competition among university graduates, a condition of more supply than demand.…”

Taiwan has undergone radical innovation of its educational system in the wake of political liberalization and democratization, with a request for a change in the idea which diverts from 'de-centralization' to 'individualization'. The reforms have led to two main features of pluralism and generalization of education in our current education system with a view to more equal and plural opportunities of education for students in Taiwan. Nevertheless, a number of reform tasks have been done in haste without discretion and have developed various problems with some deriving from the inherent educational system and some from the reform tasks themselves. The paper discusses three major educational reform concerns and the problems associated with these concerns including multilingual learning in elementary schools, overexpansion of higher education institutions and 12-year compulsory education.

“…The trend towards shorter programmes has not been common in British Commonwealth countries. In Asia, Taiwan has seen a significant growth in those taking short programmes (Wang 2003), but In Japan and South Korea the proportions on shorter programmes are little above 20% (Hayhoe 1995).…”

Hong Kong has moved from elite to mass post-secondary education in a very short space of time and at little cost to the Government. Most of this spectacular expansion in participation has come through enrolments in 2 year associate degrees in recently founded community colleges, which have self-financing status. The achievement has been clouded by complaints from associate degree graduates that the articulation envisaged by the government is not working; so they are unable to obtain places for undergraduate degrees in UGC-funded universities. The value of an associate degree as a suitable terminal award for employment in a knowledge-based economy is yet to be clearly established. There must be doubts as to whether students will continue to enrol in associate degrees if they provide stepping stones to neither employment nor places in undergraduate degrees in UGC-funded universities. In an attempt to deal with the lack of articulation, some community colleges, in conjunction with overseas universities, have started to offer top-up degrees to enable associate degree graduates to convert the award to a degree. However, the resulting qualifications are seen as inferior to undergraduate degrees from the UGC-funded universities.

“…Currently it has over 160 colleges and universities, plus 16 junior colleges, with an enrollment in excess of a million students. It is arguable that Taipei,China is overeducated (Wang 2003). In 1985, it had 27 colleges and universities; by 1990 the number had surged to 46 and by 1995 to 60.…”
