Cabinet draft bill on private school closure slammed
By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter
The National Federation of Teachers’ Unions (NFTU) and the Taiwan Higher Education Union yesterday said that the Executive Yuan’s draft of a proposed act to regulate the closure of private senior-high schools, universities and colleges would mean less oversight of targeted schools by the government.
The Executive Yuan’s version of the proposed act has raised many questions since it was released on Nov. 19, the federation and union said in a statement.
Compared with a draft published in April by the Ministry of Education, the Executive Yuan’s version would mean looser supervision of schools that officials regard as needing special guidance, they said.
