我國高齡教育政策的回顧與展望

A Review of Educational Policy in Elderly Education in Taiwan: Implications to Future Policy Planning

Abstracts


臺灣已於2018年進入高齡社會,高齡者成為人口主要族群之一,其學習需求成為不可忽視的議題。臺灣高齡教育自1970年代後開始發展,至2006年《邁向高齡社會老人教育政策白皮書》頒布後,臺灣高齡教育政策發展藍圖終於底定。本文經由探究臺灣高齡化現象、高齡教育發展過程及現行政策之後,發現臺灣高齡教育具有下述特質:民間力量凝聚催生,發展循序漸進,政策方向清楚;宣導文件先行,增進社會認知,推動依法有據;政府經費挹注,正向輔導鼓勵,維持辦學品質;人才專業培訓,穩紮教育基盤,有利專業投入。但卻也面臨高齡教育辦理多頭馬車,投入心力不一;政府經費分配不均,資源挹注尚屬有限;課程內涵有待擴增,創新推廣仍需開拓;缺乏專業證照制度,專業科系就業投入率低等之困境。本文最後提出五項展望,期能有益於未來台灣高齡教育體系之發展。
