Through the interdisciplinary perspective of education and human rights research, this article attempts to rethink the current promotion of national education and provides suggestions on the implementation of 12-year basic education in Taiwan. Starting with the phenomenon of unequal acquisition of competencies in Taiwan as demonstrated by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the author considers that formal equality of educational opportunities cannot fully accomplish the aims found in the spirit of the right to education and learning. In contrast, the achievement of these rights should be regarded as ensuring that all people acquire the necessary core competencies to meet the minimum requirements for self-actualization. By mastering these competencies, individuals can equip themselves for daily life and confront future challenges and therefore better develop themselves and pursue constant lifelong learning. Consequently, in compulsory education, the government should pursue substantive equality in the educational outcomes of core competencies. Only by providing everyone with the necessary conditions to freely advance their own personalities and grow continuously will we maximize the possibilities of realizing the right to learn for all people in an inclusive learning society. |
