Special Education

Taiwan's special education schools admit students with mental or physical disabilities. The length of study varies for different stages of education, which include kindergarten, primary school education for six years, junior high education for three years, and senior high/vocational education for three years. The admission requirements and the length of study are similar to those of regular schools at the same level of education, but the requirements and length of education may be raised or lowered according to regulations.

Special classes are also attached to regular education institutions, such as primary, junior high and senior high schools. Resource classes are also set up in colleges and universities to enroll blind and deaf students. The curricula in special schools are basically designed to train students with professional skills.
