3. In compliance with the 2022 Gender Equality Committee of the Executive Yuan and the letter issued by the Ministry of Education, and according to the Act for Implementation of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748, we conducted a comprehensive inventory of NCUE’s forms, information systems, webpages involving spouses, parents, relationships, and titles. For the originally closed attributes that were separate, including “father” and “mother” or “husband” or “wife”, they shall be changed to open attributes: “legal agent”, “emergency contact”, and “spouse” for self-checking and filling out the form. A total of 7 forms have been amended, including the information systems and web pages, so as to protect the rights of same-sex spouses and same-sex families.

Please refer to Annex 5.6.2A. The school formulates and responds to policies of not discriminating against transgender people with specific actions.
