This article examines over a decade of Taiwan’s policy permitting public schools to implement experimental education. It identifies ten major issues, including the gap between the ideal and reality of so-called“experimental schools.”The article argues for a more coherent legal framework that protects the rights of private actors to offer alternative education and respects parental freedom of educational choice. Public schools should focus on deepening reforms within the existing system, rather than using experimental status as a tool for institutional survival. Educational innovation must be grounded in sustainable and clearly articulated philosophies. Furthermore, indigenous cultural education should be integrated into mainstream curricula to avoid cultural isolation. The article emphasizes that“quality as foundation, learning achievement as key”must guide all school models. By repositioning experimental education from symbolic innovation to effective, accountable practice, Taiwan can cultivate a more equitable and future-oriented education system. |
