Abstract

Taiwan’s higher education system enjoys a high level of participation and a reputation for quality in Asia, but it is facing increasing pressure caused by expansion, low birthrate, and human capital flight. Further, with the Cross-Strait relations going downhill, higher education cooperation and faculty and student mobility between China and Taiwan are severely affected. Under these unfavorable circumstances, the Taiwanese government needs more proactive policies for universities to maintain quality, expand, and further internationalize.
