3. In 2022, the number of mandatory and optional gender studies-related courses offered by each department (including physical education), teacher training center, and general education center was 130, with a total credits of 289. The number of students taking the course is 3,705 (the instructor shall select Gender Education or Integrative Issues: Gender Equality by themselves when setting up the course). We provide sufficient and diverse gender-friendly curriculum resources to promote the learning and research of our students.
4. The College of Extension Education of NCUE, in collaboration with the Changhua County Government and the Industrial Development & Investment Promotion Committee of Changhua County, launched the “She College - Training Course for Female Elite Leaders” in 2022. With a female point of view, the series of courses are integrated with “Strategic Management,” “Business Trends,” “Leadership Management,” and “Female Leaders’ Summit” to train female leaders with diversified visions and decision-making and management skills in the post-pandemic era. Forty-seven female leaders were enrolled in the program, with an addition of 12 (up 34.28%) compared to the 35 in 2021. Most of them are leaders of social organizations, corporate leaders or their spouses, and second-generation elites. They belong to a variety of industries, including metals, plastics, cosmetics, food, and other manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries. It is hoped that this program will facilitate female students’ learning and training at NCUE, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3:
