High education is the most important element in further education in the ROC. It covers universities, colleges, universities

of technology, institutes of technology and graduate schools. The aim of university education is to allow young people

to broaden their knowledge, develop their abilities, and become leaders of national reconstruction in the future. Currently,

the total number of universities and university students is:

u Universities with Mandarin Chinese Language Centers: 17

u Number of Undergraduate Students: 837,602  

u Number of Graduate Students: 143,567

Because the government believes that high education is the key factor to promote the capability of Taiwanese international

competivitiveness, more universities have been established in recent years. Taiwan has become one of the highest educated

populations in Asia. Currently 4.94% of the population have earned an undergraduate degree.

       Seventeen colleges and universities in Taiwan have established Mandarin Chinese Teaching Centers throughout Taiwan, with

       each of them offering the high quality of Chinese Language Education. Each language center has its own Chinese teaching materials.

       These materials are edited with both phonetic transcription and phonetic symbols; in addition to practical general textbooks, each

       center uses active and lively multi-media teaching materials.
