Taiwan's education department has passed the revised draft of the preferential treatment measures for indigenous students. From September 2007, indigenous students who have obtained the proof of indigenous culture and language ability will take high school and university entrance examinations, and their scores will be calculated by adding 35% to the total score. From 20 10, the preferential entrance examination for aborigines who have not obtained language certification is decreasing year by year.

According to the current preferential treatment regulations for indigenous students, indigenous students who take various entrance examinations enjoy a preferential treatment of reducing the admission score by 25%, which is equivalent to an increase of 33%. The Ministry of Education's "Measures for Indigenous Students' Preferences and Indigenous Students' Studying Abroad at Public Fees" revised the calculation method of indigenous students' preferences.

Huang Wenling of the Education Department pointed out that since September 2007, the preferential treatment for indigenous students in further education is 25% of the total score, and if they have obtained language proficiency certification, it is 35% of the total score. However, from September 20 10, the preferential treatment for Certification staff who has not acquired language ability will be reduced by 5% year by year, and the total score will be reduced to 10%.

That is, indigenous students who have not obtained language proficiency certification can only get 20% of the total score in the entrance examination in September 20 10, and only get 15% in the entrance examination in September 2012, all of which are calculated as 10% of the total score.

Huang Wenling said that after preferential treatment of examination results, schools that meet the admission criteria will adopt the method of increasing the number of places, and in line with the proportion of indigenous population in Taiwan's population, the principle of adding 2% to the original approved enrollment quota, where indigenous people gather, key schools and special departments can consider school resources and regional characteristics to increase the proportion of additional places.

At present, preferential treatment for continuing education of indigenous students is not a way to increase the number of places. Indigenous students meet the admission criteria after getting extra points, but they crowd out the admission places for ordinary students. Some college students think that the revised bonus points and additional places are more fair.
