Ministry of Education (Taiwan)

Taiwan's education ministry was rooted as the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture from the Imperial Japanese government, which took over Taiwan in 1895. During Japanese colonial rule, school attendance for Taiwanese children increased from 3.8% in 1904 to 71.3% in 1943 and literacy in Taiwan became common.[2] Modern schools were formed with widespread establishment of primary schools while higher schooling for Taiwanese people remained rare and secondary schools and colleges were mostly for Japanese nationals. In special cases many Taiwanese did receive higher schooling and many went to Japan for further studies.

In 2022, in response to complaints from higher-education institutions about the weekly cap on inbound visitors, the MOE reserved extra slots for foreign students to ensure they are not prevented from entering Taiwan.[3]
