The Ministry of Education has officially revised the "Measures for Recognition of Qualifications in the Mainland Area", and added several new conditions to the status of "non-recognition of academic qualifications" in Article 9. For example, if a school in Mainland China has not been approved by the Ministry of Education, it will set up a branch or branch in Taiwan. Ministry, degrees conferred by enrollment in Taiwan will not be accepted. In addition, if the student is not registered and enrolled, a mainland degree obtained only by thesis work is also not accepted.
The Ministry of Education stated that after this revision, if a Taiwanese student is enrolled in a university approved in the roster, but has not registered for admission and study, and only obtains a doctorate with "thesis and writing", even if the degree is awarded by the mainland, Taiwan will not grant it.
In addition, due to the impact of the epidemic or the consideration of convenience in recent years, the education situation in various parts of the world has changed. In the past, it was originally stipulated that if a school in the mainland area obtained a degree through correspondence or distance learning, it would not be accepted. This time, the law has also been revised to relax the degree that a degree obtained through distance learning can be admitted, but it still sets a limit of no more than one-half of the total number of graduation credits. .
This amendment to the adoption method also adds that if a mainland school has not been approved by the Ministry of Education, it will set up a branch school, branch, degree program or entrusted institution to enroll students and teach in Taiwan. The Ministry of Education does not accept it.
In addition, in recent years, honorary and honorary doctorate titles awarded by schools in mainland China have been issued indiscriminately. The Ministry of Education stated that since honorary degrees are not formal degrees, this amendment also lists honorary and honorary doctorate awards awarded by mainland China as unacceptable.
