Taipei City Teachers' In-Service Education Center

1. Taipei Quality School Selection

Taipei City as the capital city in Taiwan plays the role of leadership in leading the country moving forward to internationalization and modernization. Thus the development and reformation of education in this city must be in the right direction. By creating an excellent educational environment and cultivating all-round talents, it is believed as the right way to make not only the country competitive but also Taipei City a global metropolis in the 21st century. Given that, the Department of Education of the Taipei City government has developed the quality school index as a reference for schools. Its 8 quality awards include "school leadership", "administration and management", "course development", "teaching", "professional development", "school construction", "resource integration" and "student learning." If a single school accumulates a total of 5 awards or more in less than 4 years (including awards won by different schemes), it will be eligible to win an overall gold quality award.
