Taiwan's lessons for our industries.
New Sunday Times.
Abstract
THE visit to Taipei 101, the world's highest building, was more than just a touristic event. The tower, that
stands at 508m, elegantly pierces through the skyline of the Taiwanese metropolis.
Still, the science and technology adviser to the office of the President remarked that much more still needs to
be done.
In higher education, too, there are problems.
Based on a keynote address delivered by a top Taiwanese human resource industrialist at an International
Conference on Technological and Professional Higher Education recently, some of the major problems sound
familiar.
Among others, student quality is said to be deteriorating, although the qual ity of teachers is perceived to be
getting better.
There is also the issue of "diploma inflation" where graduates who harbour higher expectations do not yield
higher quality.
