SDG 10.6.2 Access to university track underrepresented groups applications
The core of higher education lies in promoting social mobility and redistributing resources through education. NCUE is committed to enhancing financial aid measures to assist disadvantaged groups, economically or culturally disadvantaged students, and students with special needs. We provide diverse pathways for admission to help them enroll successfully, thereby achieving the public nature of higher education. In 2022, we applied to offer an Indigenous Peoples' Special Class to admit Indigenous students, ensuring a specific proportion of opportunities for admission.
1. Statistics of NCUE’s disadvantaged students in 2022:
To compensate for the underrepresentation of students due to their backgrounds, NCUE motivated recruit disadvantaged students, including those with disabilities, indigenous students, as well as economically or culturally disadvantaged students. The statistics on these students in 2022 are as Table1.

2. Admission of underrepresented groups to NCUE in 2022:
To achieve the goal of sustainable development on the basis of equality, to eliminate, to reduce all inequalities, and to ensure the education rights of poor and disadvantaged groups, NCUE improved the admission opportunities of disadvantaged students, and effectively promoted the mobility of social classes so as to achieve the measures of a social protection system. NCUE also provided various admission channels and welcomed disadvantaged students (such as indigenous people, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students) to enrol. The admission situation of each channel is as follows Tables 2-4.

3. NCUE applied to offer special classes for indigenous people in 2022:
In 2022, we applied to the Ministry of Education to establish the "Indigenous Peoples' Special Class for Aging Health Promotion and Care Management." After approval, we enrolled 30 indigenous students, with 29 of them successfully admitted. The program aims to nurture economically and culturally disadvantaged students, facilitating their employment prospects and contributing to the enhancement of elderly care resources in indigenous areas.
