Education fairs to promote studying in the US and Australia have been scheduled for early next month.
A US education fair will be held in three cities from Oct. 9 to Oct. 12.
More than 20 universities and colleges from the US will send representatives to participate in the event, a spokeswoman for the American International Education Foundation (AIEF) said.
Representatives from schools such as New York State University, Purdue University, Arizona State University and the University of San Francisco will fly to Taiwan to promote their respective schools.
CREATIVE COURSES
“Art schools have begun to focus on attracting more talented students here in Taiwan,” an AIEF official said, adding that more art schools will attend the event this year, such as the Academy of Art University and the New York Film Academy.
The US education fair will be held in Taipei’s CPC Corp Building on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10, Kaohsiung’s Grand Hi-Lai Hotel on Oct. 11 and Taichung’s Evergreen Laurel Hotel on Oct. 12.
SURF AND STUDY
An Australian education fair will also be running just before the US fair.
More than 50 Australian schools will be represented, including universities, high schools and language schools, the Australian Commerce and Industry Office in Taipei said.
“The event has been held annually for 10 years in Taiwan and nearly 10,000 students attend the fair every year,” an office official said.
The Australian event will be held at Taipei’s World Trade Center on Oct. 2 and Oct. 3 and then move to Kaohsiung’s Grand Hi-Lai Hotel on Oct. 5.
An essay competition jointly organized by a local writing society and a publisher affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) might have contravened the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (臺灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例), the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said on Thursday. “In this case, the partner organization is clearly an agency under the CCP’s Fujian Provincial Committee,” MAC Deputy Minister and spokesperson Liang Wen-chieh (梁文傑) said at a news briefing in Taipei. “It also involves bringing Taiwanese students to China with all-expenses-paid arrangements to attend award ceremonies and camps,” Liang said. Those two “characteristics” are typically sufficient
The brilliant blue waters, thick foliage and bucolic atmosphere on this seemingly idyllic archipelago deep in the Pacific Ocean belie the key role it now plays in a titanic geopolitical struggle. Palau is again on the front line as China, and the US and its allies prepare their forces in an intensifying contest for control over the Asia-Pacific region. The democratic nation of just 17,000 people hosts US-controlled airstrips and soon-to-be-completed radar installations that the US military describes as “critical” to monitoring vast swathes of water and airspace. It is also a key piece of the second island chain, a string of
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck about 33km off the coast of Hualien City was the "main shock" in a series of quakes in the area, with aftershocks expected over the next three days, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday. Prior to the magnitude 5.9 quake shaking most of Taiwan at 6:53pm yesterday, six other earthquakes stronger than a magnitude of 4, starting with a magnitude 5.5 quake at 6:09pm, occurred in the area. CWA Seismological Center Director Wu Chien-fu (吳健富) confirmed that the quakes were all part of the same series and that the magnitude 5.5 temblor was
The Central Weather Administration has issued a heat alert for southeastern Taiwan, warning of temperatures as high as 36°C today, while alerting some coastal areas of strong winds later in the day. Kaohsiung’s Neimen District (內門) and Pingtung County’s Neipu Township (內埔) are under an orange heat alert, which warns of temperatures as high as 36°C for three consecutive days, the CWA said, citing southwest winds. The heat would also extend to Tainan’s Nansi (楠西) and Yujing (玉井) districts, as well as Pingtung’s Gaoshu (高樹), Yanpu (鹽埔) and Majia (瑪家) townships, it said, forecasting highs of up to 36°C in those areas
