In keeping with its development strategy for students from the families in Taiwan’s lowest 20% income group in Taiwan, NCUE takes actions to eradicate poverty and ensure the social mobility of disadvantaged groups. For students from low-income households in Taiwan, NCUE has formulated projects, actions, and guidance mechanisms to assist students in achieving their graduation goals. The measures are as follows:

1.NCUE provides learning assistance and counselling measures based on such projects as the Higher Education Sprout Project and the Flying Eagles.

With the momentum of the Higher Education Sprout Project, NCUE helps students from the families in the lowest 20% income group to set up diverse learning goals, providing them with relevant learning assistance and guidance measures. The programmes include target-based learning, competency objectives, the Flying Eagle Reading Club, tutorial classes, and Flying Eagle Intensive Learning and special research guidance. New measures designed for students from the families in the lowest 20% income group will be introduced each year.

Through the Higher Education SPROUT Project, we helped students from households in the lowest 20% set diverse learning goals. Further, we provided related learning assistance and counseling measures, such as Flying Eagles’ Intensive Learning to students’ learning, Sound Academic Performance and Conducts, Teaching and Learning Counseling, Independent Research, and Generalist Tutoring. We will step up related learning measures to assist students from households in the lowest 20% year by year. Please refer to the website of the Flying Eagles project at https://reurl.cc/Yj1kAD for related counseling and award programs.
