SDG1.4.4 Policy addressing poverty Year: 2019 or 2020
Education is one of the best means to alleviate poverty. NCUE actively participates in local, regional, national, and even global policymaking mechanisms to end poverty everywhere in all its forms. We hope to eradicate poverty through education, including such diverse projects and policies as the measures described below:
1. NCUE integrates its relevant resources and formulates policies at all levels.
Through the Special Education Centre, the Department of Fine Arts, the Graduate Institute of History, and the Graduate Institute of Taiwanese Literature, NCUE actively links the resources from local communities, primary and secondary schools, vocational high schools, public interest groups, local enterprises, local governments, and Taiwan’s central government agencies. NCUE has established a cooperation platform to cooperatively develop projects and policies to eliminate all forms of poverty. It implements the projects of local communities, primary and secondary schools, vocational high schools, public interest groups, and local enterprises.
2. NCUE formulates and implements plans for poverty eradication with public interest groups, local enterprises, local governments, and Taiwan’s central government.
The Special Education Centre helps students with disabilities adapt to university life and various emotional, academic, societal, and career challenges. The Centre also helps the special education teachers and staff in Central Taiwan improve their professionalism and services by providing study groups, workshops, and consultation services and publishing special education periodicals.
The Department of Fine Arts, the Graduate Institute of History, and the Graduate Institute of Taiwanese Literature draw on public sector resources to implement projects on local culture and the preservation and revitalization of landscapes. They conduct historical walking tours that promote urban uniqueness, the beauty of Changhua’s culture, and the alley aesthetics of the old communities. The National Development Council’s local revitalization platform has created opportunities for change. This has enabled the Department of Fine Arts, the Graduate Institute of History, and the Graduate Institute of Taiwanese Literature to gather the consensus of local communities and draw talent from different regions to energize the Changhua 300 · Ancient City Rebirth Project, retain Changhua City talent, and combine its exception human and cultural resources to build a better Changhua City.
