After the protest for 410 Education Reform in 1994, the Educational Fundamental Act was ratified to ensure the legal protection of student welfare. The Actintroduced progressive thinking: the right to learn, equal access to education, education for the disadvantaged, the right of personality development, and the banning of corporal punishment. In the thirty years since the protest, the line between the power of teachers and students has been redrawn due to various school incidents and prescribed regulations. This article ploughs through the evolution of school democratization and conducts interviews with eight protesters of the 410 Education Reform. The interviewees provide views on the insufficiency of the current Act and pin their hopes on it becoming the Magna Carta of student rights. Meanwhile, the ‘trickle-down’ and ‘trickle-up’ empowerment mechanisms, for example the introduction of progressive schools, seed teachers, student representatives for curriculum reform and welfare committees, and training of student council leaders, aim to shift the balance of the power relationship. By means of the ‘trickle-across’ strategy, pressure groups and student communities circulate and lobby for their visions through different media to gain support. Thus, we enumerate four empowerment approaches to solidify the continuing development of student rights. |
