Education System in Taiwan
The Taiwan education system encompasses 6 years of primary education, 3 years of junior high school, 3 years of senior high school, 4 to 7 years of college or university, 1 to 4 years for a master's degree and 2 to 7 years for a doctoral degree.
A 9-year compulsory education system was put into effect in 1968, including 6 years of elementary education and 3 years of junior high school. To offer more diverse development opportunities for junior high school students, technical arts education is included in addition to the regular curriculum. Practical classes allow students to better understand vocational education and their future career choices. 12-year compulsory education was implemented in 2014.
