Human Rights Education in Taiwan: The Second Ten Years 2008-2018
台灣人權教育：第二個十年
摘要
This paper is designed as a follow up of the report on the first decade. It picks up from where the first article left off. As the last three years of the Chen Shui-bian administration did not bring about any perceptible development in the field, this article will concentrate on the years 2008 to 2018, that is from the Ma Ying-jeou administration to that of the first two years of Tsai Ing-wen's (蔡英文) presidency. It is primarily concerned with human rights education in the primary and secondary schools and the universities, leaving the education and training of government officials and the citizenry for later study. A fairly detailed analysis of the efforts of the Curriculum and Instruction Consulting Team(s) sponsored by the Ministry of Education, the National Human Rights Museum under the Ministry of Culture and the Chang Fo-chuan Center for the Study of Human Rights at Soochow University will be provided. Similar to the previous article, this paper relies mainly on official documents, especially those of the government ministries and civil society organizations, the reviews of international experts, the studies by scholars as well as my personal observation. As usual, I also circulated my paper for comments and criticism to several colleagues who have been intimately involved in the field.
