On Tuesday (2/28), Taiwan Education Center (TEC) Yogyakarta visited SMK Negeri 4 Yogyakarta, one of the vocational high schools which is located in Yogyakarta. This visit is aimed to promote and informed about higher education as well as the internship program in Taiwan universities. TEC Yogyakarta provided a presentation to the teachers and students at this school.

The students were enthusiastic during the slide presentation, and they paid attention to the presentation. A lot of them threw questions about education in Taiwan and the process of applying for the universities there. They also asked about the scholarship that the government provided for the students.

Furthermore, Bima, the manager of TEC Yogyakarta, gave a suggestion and advice for students to get the scholarship and to prepare all the necessary requirements for the Taiwan’s government scholarship in 2024. Since Taiwan’s government scholarships are only open once every year and now it is still applicable (from Feb. 1-Mar. 31, 2024, Bima suggested the students be more attentive to the requirements and procedures. Not only students, but the teachers were also very enthusiastic to know more about these programs.

Hopefully after this presentation students can obtain useful information regarding Taiwan and its education system. We expect that the students could be more motivated to continue their study overseas, especially in Taiwan.
