Significant disparities exist between the social, economic, and environmental contexts of Macao and Taiwan, encompassing elements such as governance systems, population demographics, and land mass. Despite these distinctions, Macao’s primary education system exhibits notable characteristics that can be used as a reference for Taiwan’s primary education reform. This study endeavors to provide a comprehensive overview of Macao’s primary education system, drawing upon a thorough analysis of pertinent literature, official documents, and regulatory frameworks. The analysis begins with an introduction to the current condition of Macao, followed by an examination of the developmental milieu surrounding primary education in Macao, an elucidation of the institutional framework and contemporary landscape of primary education in Macao, a presentation of practical case studies from the Macao context, and a delineation of the salient features characterizing primary education in Macao. Subsequently, this inquiry offers six actionable recommendations intended to inform and inspire the advancement of primary education reform in Taiwan. These recommendations include: 1. integrating educational principles and policies through legislative measures to foster a culture of lawful education and enhance the educational ethos; 2. compiling a comprehensive annual guide for school operations as a point of reference; 3. deliberating on strategies to augment educational funding subsidies; 4. expanding the provision of English language instruction; 5. exploring the viability of establishing schools offering instruction in various languages; and 6. contemplating the incorporation of leisure-oriented curricular offerings. |
