NCUE provides active assistance for students who suspend their schooling and have not returned to school in the same year of being pregnant or raising children. We take the initiative to remind students of the deadline for resuming school and provide assistance for the renewal of their leave, to prevent students who are pregnant or have children from dropping out because they do not return to school in time. In addition, we make use of school or social resources to assist pregnant students with childcare needs after childbirth or students raising their children, hoping to assist them in completing their studies.
