[Reporter Zhang Weizhen/Taipei Report] The National Federation of Teachers’ Unions pointed out today (4) that in the 112 academic year’s four-technical and second-specialty selection and application enrollment brochures, some schools and departments have different subjects and enrollment groups from the 111 academic year. Including 13 departments in 7 schools, the Ministry of Education's major measures have not been announced before students enroll in high school, which may affect the rights and interests of students.

The Ministry of Education responded that some departments changed their names or adjusted the direction of running schools. Because they aimed at different groups of students, the school adjusted after consideration.

Zhang Qiongfang, director of high school vocational education at the National Education Federation, pointed out that according to the selection and application brochures for the four-technical and two-specialty schools in the 112 academic year, it was found that 12 schools and departments including Qinyi University of Science and Technology, Kunshan University of Science and Technology, and Longhua University of Science and Technology had changed their enrollment groups; in addition, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology The Industrial Design Group of the Department of Design has changed from taking Mathematics B to Mathematics A.

Zhang Qiongfang said that for high school teachers and students, the only information that can understand the orientation of college admissions is "suggested directions for learning preparation". etc., and immediately implement it in the admissions guide, it will cause high school students to be at a loss, and even affect the right of students to enter a higher education.

Zhang Qiongfang believes that major changes should follow the principle previously disclosed by the Ministry of Education to "announce before students enroll in senior high schools", and provide students with sufficient and transparent information for early response.

The Ministry of Education failed to fulfill its responsibility to investigate changes in the enrollment content of technical colleges every year.

In this regard, Yang Yuhui, director of the Technical Department of the Ministry of Education, explained that the Design Department of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology is divided into two groups: commercial design and industrial design. In the academic year, the engineering design group will change to counting A, and the commercial design group will adopt counting B. Both groups are in the design department, and the number of places is similar. There is no preference for one side. Groups are optional.

Yang Yuhui further stated that many ordinary high schools have reported that, for example, National Taiwan Normal University and National Cheng Kung University Industrial Design both take mathematics A and natural subjects, but National Taiwan University of Science and Technology uses mathematics B and natural subjects. At present, students with number A and number B have the opportunity to apply for the Design Department of Taiwan University of Science and Technology, so that more high school students have the opportunity to apply for the exam.

In addition, some schools, such as Qinyi University of Science and Technology, Kunshan University of Science and Technology, and Longhua University of Science and Technology, have changed their enrollment group categories. Yang Yuhui explained that the departments belonging to this group have changed their names or adjusted their schooling directions, so they have become new departments. The targeted student groups have been adjusted. Considering this reason, the Ministry of Education asked the school to adjust.

She emphasized that the adjustments are only a few cases. If it is not for the new establishment, the adjustment of the name of the department, or other reasons, the department will not be adjusted, and the principle of letting students know before enrolling must be followed.
