Through long-term observation, document analysis, and focus group discussions, this paper first delineated the legislative background of the Technical and Vocational Education Act, including the key emphases during the drafting process as well as the legal structure and substantive content following its enactment. Subsequently, it synthesized the issues encountered during the ten years of implementation of the Act, identifying a total of eighteen major issues. In response to these issues, this study drew upon the 2018 amendment of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act in the United States, the 2020 amendment of the Vocational Training Act in Germany, and the Fifth Edition of Taiwan’s Technical and Vocational Education Policy Guidelines announced by the Executive Yuan in 2025, to propose ten directions for legal revision. It is anticipated that, through these ten proposed revision directions, the Technical and Vocational Education Act can be progressively refined, thereby facilitating the systematic development of Taiwan’s technical and vocational education system. With a comprehensive legal framework in place, the system may better address domestic needs while aligning with international development trends, and ultimately shape the distinctive characteristics of Taiwan’s technical and vocational education. |
