The 2025 Advanced Interdisciplinary Project was launched in a ceremony Feb. 10 in Taipei City by the Ministry of Education to cultivate personnel and promote digital education in elementary and high schools to further enhance Taiwan’s smart nation aspirations.
According to the MOE, a total of 56 schools nationwide will take part in the project this year. First launched by the MOE in 2008, the initiative has developed 199 curricula for more than 30,000 students and teachers in Taiwan and established exchange platforms with 6,000 plus counterparts in 19 countries around the world.
Through specifically designed course offerings via an innovative cooperative learning approach, students apply new technology to solve real problems that they encounter in everyday life, the ministry said. A total of 12 schools have received MOE excellent teaching awards and 10 teachers honored with excellence awards so far.
In particular, the MOE said among the participating schools in 13 counties and cities, eight will take part in a four-week online exchange course with overseas partner facilities. Building on the success of previous years, the ministry will continue to fine tune the initiative’s content, it added.
The digital learning program is a response to U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and government policy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, promote climate change adaptation and develop green energy sources. It aims to expand the younger generation’s global vision and make them more capable global citizens through learning that combines emerging technology and problem-based exploration, according to the MOE.
