According to Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao", due to the impact of Taiwan's declining birthrate, school enrollment has become more intense, and some schools have to face difficulties such as suspending enrollment and suspending operations. According to Taiwan media 14**, many universities in Taiwan are determined to close, in addition to the two universities that will be closed in 2023, there are 4 universities that will close next year, and it is initially estimated that 60,000 college students are forced to relocate to other schools, and teachers are also facing unemployment.
According to reports, the two universities in Taiwan that have been closed this year are Taiwan's Capital University and Taiwan's Chung Chau University of Science and Technology. Among them, Taiwan's capital university was established in 2000 in Madou District, Tainan City, and the number of students in its heyday was nearly 10,000, but due to the sharp decline in enrollment, the university was still unable to fill the funding gap due to various measures, and finally stopped recruiting students in May last year and announced its closure in August this year.
According to the report, four universities will be closed next year, including Taiwan's Mingdao University, Taiwan's Global University of Science and Technology, Taiwan's Oriental University of Design, and Taiwan's Datong Institute of Technology. According to reports, Taiwan's Mingdao University had nearly 10,000 students in its heyday, but due to the lack of financial funds and the problem of arrears of more than NT$39 million in salaries for faculty and staff, the university had to completely suspend enrollment and suspend it on July 31 next year. In addition, the 32-year-old Taiwan Global University of Science and Technology, which had more than 9,000 students in its heyday, has stopped recruiting students in August this year and will be closed on July 31 next year due to serious financial gaps. Taiwan's Oriental University of Design also stopped recruiting students on August 1 this year and will close on July 31 next year. Taiwan's Datong Institute of Technology, which has been established for 60 years, also announced that it would stop recruiting students in August this year and close in July next year due to financial problems.
