Tunghai University-News-- Grand opening of the 2017 Indonesia Taiwan Higher Education Expo in Jakarta
This year’s event was the sixth annual meeting for the Indonesia Taiwan Higher Education Expo. ICATI and the Indonesia Taiwan Education Center, Elite Study in Taiwan (ESIT Program), the Aceh County Government, local universities, and the Taiwan Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia collaborated to host the event. Representatives from these organizations, including Ambassador John Chen of the Taiwan Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia, Chairman Rudy Kianto of ICATI, and Chairman Hengky Lau of ICATI Jarkata, attended the opening ceremony.
In his opening speech, Political Deputy Minister Leehter Yao thanked Chairman Ruby Kianto of the ICATI and the Indonesia Taiwan Education Center for organizing the expo. He also expressed his gratitude for the support from the Indonesian government, from the Taiwan Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia, and all the workers and participants. He further stated that he looked forward to seeing a steady increase in the number of Indonesian students pursuing higher education in Taiwan. In the post-ceremony interview, he stated that there are currently over 5000 Indonesian students studying in Taiwan, and that the Ministry of Education is collaborating with the New Southern Policy of the Taiwan government, aiming to raise the number to 10,000 in three years.
In his opening speech, Tunghai Vice President Li-Chih Wang said that Tunghai University was honored to operate the Indonesia Taiwan Higher Education Center with the support of the Ministry of Education. He also noted that Tunghai would work closely with the ICATI and industrial partners, and would collaborate with the ESIT Program office to extend the reach of TECO to Aceh. He, therefore, felt confident that the Taiwan Education Center would become an important platform to connect institutions of higher education in Indonesia and Taiwan. Tunghai University would continue to share resources with the domestic universities while strengthening academic bonds with Indonesia and in this manner would help the Ministry of Education promote Taiwanese higher education.
The opening ceremony of the Medan Expo was hosted by Chairman Joko DHARMANADI of the ICATI Sumut, Director General Andy Bi of the Department of International and Cross-strait Education of the Ministry of Education, and Envoy Phoebe Yeh of the Taiwan Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia. Sumut Vice Governor Hajjah Nurhajijah Marpaung and Sumut regional assembly member DPD Parlinlungan Purba also attended the event and delivered congratulatory speeches in which they pointed out how the Expo had fostered collaboration between Taiwanese and Indonesian educational institutions.
According to Envoy Phoebe Yeh of the Taiwan Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia, there are currently 5000 Indonesian students studying in Taiwan; 30% of which are native Indonesians and 70 % Indonesians of Chinese ancestry. These students have generally performed well academically and are welcome in Taiwan, and this suggests that the fifty universities attending the expo provide plentiful academic choices for the incoming Indonesian students.
Medan is one of the Indonesian cities with the most Chinese citizens. To allow students and parents understand Taiwan’s system of education better, university representatives shared information about their departments and programs. Additionally, the University Entrance Committee for Overseas Chinese Students also set up a booth and presented an informational session about studying overseas in Taiwan, hoping to attract more Indonesian students to come to Taiwan.
