QUALITY EDUCATION POLICY AND 1ST GENERATION STUDENTS

Taipei Tech complies with Article 4 of the Educational Fundamental Act of the Ministry of Education, which states that all people, regardless of gender, age, abilities, geographic locality, ethnic group, religious beliefs, political ideas, or social or economic standing, shall have an equal opportunity to receive an education. Therefore, there are no status restrictions on any academic activities held on campus. This policy was created in 1999 and reviewed in 2013.

A total of 27.76% of students are first-generation students. A total of 4,106 students are starting their first degree; 1,140 of these are first-generation students. 

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES ACTIVITIES FOR ALL

To promote lifelong learning for all, the Taipei Tech library provides free, high-quality educational resources for non-students. Alumni can use their alumni library card to enter the library. The library is open to the public to browse books and use the e-resources, with a limit of 30 visitors at any one time every day. Last year, 253 alumni applied for library cards. The library recorded 8,982 visits from alumni and the general public. Students of the Affiliated Taoyuan Agricultural and Industrial Senior High School of National Taipei University of Technology will soon be allowed to borrow e-books and also enjoy the library resources. New book releases, film premieres, and some art and cultural events are open to the general public. We have also held several film viewing activities in conjunction with the neighboring communities. At the same time, Taipei Tech invites professional teachers to continuously develop online courses in a range of fields using inter-school resources. At present, 23 online courses have been released, with 4,456 students attending, covering topics such as culture, language, and industrial automation. Online courses are promoted on social media to expand coverage.

Taipei Tech hosts speeches and seminars on a broad range of professional topics. The latest information on speeches and seminars can be accessed by the public on the school homepage.

Taipei Tech also conducts forums, seminars, talent cultivation courses, and vocational training activities on campus or in industry offices and factories to provide the public with knowledge and skills improvements in the workplace. The school has held more than 30 seminars in the past three years, and about 4-6 sessions/12-18 hours of training courses in the workplace every year.

Every year, the faculty members and students of Taipei Tech organize off-campus Volunteer Service-Learning Projects in local schools and remote communities. Over 1,500 students participate in Service-Learning Projects annually in conjunction with nearly 33 social welfare organizations.

In 2020, Taipei Tech organized 11 services teams during summer and winter vacation with 210 participants and 5,763 service hours.
