subsidies to young people who are interested in a two-month in-depth study in 18 countries as part of the government’s efforts to promote the “new southbound policy.”
Under the program, the MOE will send Taiwanese young people to join international organizations or non-governmental organizations in countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand, the Youth Development Administration (YDA) of the MOE said.
It is hoped that students participating in the study program can observe these organizations, local societies and their culture, and then using the knowledge to compare with related organizations and policy development status in Taiwan and hopefully coming up with suggestions for improvement, the YDA said.
