Seamless Integration of the First-Level Administrative Unit: "Aboriginal Education Development Office"
Our university applied to the Ministry of Education in the 109th academic year to establish the on-campus "Aboriginal Education Development Office" as an officially structured first-level administrative unit. This initiative aims to strengthen the Indigenous Student Resource Center and integrate it into the Higher Education Sprout Project's strategy for enhancing the public nature of higher education.
The Aboriginal Education Development Office serves as an administrative management team dedicated to reinforcing, elevating, and fostering the independent development of Aboriginal education. It also facilitates independent planning and cross-level administrative coordination among university-wide first-level administrative units, including the Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and General Affairs offices, as well as five major colleges and 20 academic departments.
Additionally, the university has established the Aboriginal Education General Studies Center within the General Education Center of the Common College. This center functions as both a teaching and research hub, integrating one of the eight core categories of the university’s general education curriculum: (1) Life Education, (2) Global Citizenship, (3) Critical Thinking and Creativity, (4) Sports and Health, (5) Aesthetic and Artistic Appreciation, (6) Future-oriented Studies, (7) Aboriginal Knowledge, and (8) Chinese Language and Culture.
The center is designed to develop independent credit programs and incorporate them into university-wide required and elective courses, promoting the spirit of "Aboriginal Education for All." By breaking restrictive barriers, this initiative transforms Aboriginal knowledge into an open and widely accessible learning channel, reflecting the university's commitment to advancing Aboriginal education.
Integrating Indigenous Education Resources – Strengthening the Indigenous Student Resource Center
Our university, in accordance with Article 18 of the Ministry of Education’s Indigenous Peoples Education Act, applied for the establishment of the Indigenous Student Resource Center (hereinafter referred to as the ISRC). The application was approved by the Ministry of Education on February 1, 2018. After a year of preparation and implementation, the center successfully facilitated various learning and development opportunities for Indigenous students. The first-year outcomes demonstrated the university’s strong commitment to this initiative, culminating in an official unveiling ceremony on April 17, 2019. On that day, we had the honor of inviting senior officials from the Ministry of Education, legislative representatives, local government leaders, and advocates for Indigenous education to witness the university’s dedication to fostering an inclusive educational environment for Indigenous students from all tribes.
The ISRC has been incorporated into the university’s Key Strategic Development Plan for Institutional Affairs. Through long-term planning and execution strategies, the center not only carries out its own responsibilities but also integrates and secures resources both within and beyond the university. It works to strengthen academic and technical training across various colleges and departments. By leveraging the ISRC's capacity to consolidate resources and develop diverse Indigenous cultural education programs, the center introduces both internal and external Indigenous cultural educators into the curriculum. This initiative allows students to acquire not only professional skills and academic knowledge in their respective fields but also a deeper understanding of Taiwan’s Indigenous cultures, histories, languages, arts, industries, economy, and legal systems.
The ISRC is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and passing down Indigenous cultural heritage. It nurtures Indigenous elites and future leaders, fostering a strong sense of ethnic identity and rekindling students’ sense of mission. Ultimately, the center serves as a foundation for cultivating talent essential to the future development and sustainability of Indigenous communities.
