However, officials from Taiwan's education authorities explained that starting from the 2009 school year, mainland students will be allowed to study in Taiwan instead of students from Taiwan Province Province. Next year, "mainland students studying in mainland China" will be adopted, excluding "Taiwan Province students studying in mainland China".
Taiwan's education authorities said that they are still studying with relevant parties in adopting mainland academic qualifications and opening up mainland students to study for degrees in Taiwan. It is expected that a specific plan can be drawn up within half a year. According to a public opinion survey in Taiwan Province Province, among the presidents of 1 10 universities in Taiwan Province Province, 9 1.6% are in favor of opening mainland students to study in Taiwan; 74.7% agreed to recognize mainland education. According to the principals interviewed, globalization is the trend, and Taiwan Province Province should be open to academic qualifications and mainland students coming to Taiwan.
