The government aims to have 210,000 international students stay on in Taiwan after graduation by 2030, following the approval of a strategic plan jointly proposed by the Ministry of Education and Overseas Community Affairs Council at the weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday morning.
The plan, which builds on an existing program to attract students from Hong Kong, Macau and other countries for key industries, would also facilitate the circulation and exchange of talent through cooperation between universities in Taiwan and other countries, the ministry said.
An estimated NT$5.2 billion (US$162.5 million) would be allocated over the next five years to boost the number of international students from Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and other nations targeted by the government’s New Southbound Policy, the ministry said, adding that 10 overseas enrollment centers would be established in these countries.
The plan would focus on attracting two categories of international students: those who are seeking dual degrees, and those who want to pursue a two-year college degree or two-year postbaccalaureate program.
“They should be able to focus on their two-year studies in Taiwan with the scholarships provided by the Taiwanese government, which include a one-way air ticket, visa application fees, and university tuition and fees. Corporations working with universities would offer a monthly stipend of at least NT$10,000 and other job opportunities. These should be sufficient to cover daily expenses,” Yang said.
