When the former Political Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education, Mr. Zhao-Xiang Yang, reported in front of the Legislative Yuan in 1996, he already predicted the acceptance and acknowledgement of Mainland Chinese academic degrees; in 2006 Mr. Zheng-Sheng Du, then Minister of Education, reported in the Legislative Yuan that “compared to other countries, Taiwanese students have less of a language barrier to overcome when they pursue their education in Mainland China. The direct impact of this phenomenon is the low enrollment rate in private schools and the problem of restriction of development in private institutions here in Taiwan.” Private universities have grown to 108 institutions in Taiwan (including seven military and police academies as well as two open universities), in light of decreasing birthrates, it is inevitable that these institutions will be challenged with insufficient enrollment rates in the future. If the policy for validation and acknowledgement of Mainland Chinese academic degrees is rashly implemented, it may result in a wave of Taiwanese students studying abroad in China, in turn impacting the long-term planning for the development of domestic higher education, affecting the student source as well as the management for tertiary educational institutions. In the 2003 academic year, there are 11 private technical colleges with a shortage of 4,000 student admissions total. The low enrollment rate continues to worsen, in the academic year of 2008, the admission number from the College Entrance Exam for colleges and universities are 2,000 over the number of applicants. Followed by the release of admission decisions from Taiwan military and police academies, tertiary educational institutions from China as well as other countries, from 2008 onwards, private universities will face increasing enrollment vacancies, less popular departments may also be confronted with a crisis for survival.
