Taiwan to Accept Higher Education Certificates of Students from 50 Mainland Universities
According to news from Taiwan, the province is ready to acknowledge students' diplomas granted by 50 mainland colleges and universities.
Ovid J.L.Tzeng, "education minister" of Taiwan, said that as the day for China's entry into the World Trade Organization is drawing near, it is an inevitable trend to acknowledge students' higher education certificates issued by the mainland's colleges and universities.
He said that departments concerned in Taiwan would adopt a "progressive" principle, i.e., first accepting diplomas for doctors, then maters, and finally bachelors.
