Dr. Chen noted that, with the momentum of the New Southbound Policy, the number of students from ASEAN and South Asian countries studying in Taiwan has been rising\u2014particularly from the Philippines. She sees great potential in the Philippines as an emerging recruitment market and believes this visit laid a strong foundation for Tamkang\u2019s future recruitment efforts. Several teachers directly encouraged their students to study at Tamkang, and initial discussions about strategic partnerships with high schools took place. \u201cWe hope to attract more outstanding Filipino students to Tamkang and further elevate our international academic reputation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

They also met with Minister Ting-Sheng Li, Minister Teng-Shih Yang, and Education Division Head Shih-Ping Lee at TECO to gain insight into the local education environment, recruitment strategies, and the Taiwanese business community\u2019s enthusiasm for studying in Taiwan. They also discussed the mutual visa-free policy for short-term tourism between Taiwan and the Philippines, which is expected to aid recruitment promotion.<\/p>\n

From March 11 to 14, the delegation visited seven high schools: Xavier School, Elizabeth Seton School, Immaculate Conception Academy, Saint Jude Catholic School, Makati Hope Christian High School, Grace Christian College, and the Philippine Science High School Main Campus. The visits involved discussion sessions to build mutual understanding and explore possibilities for strategic partnerships and future collaboration models.<\/p>\n
