Abstract

Taiwan’s higher education is characterized by tradition, innovation, and persistent pursuit of academic excellence. However, similar to its global counterparts, many challenges are prevalent in Taiwan’s educational sector that impede its progress and effectiveness. These challenges encompass demographic shifts, financial constraints, quality assurance, internationalization efforts, and technology integration. This study analyzes the challenges in higher education in Taiwan, and offers strategies to address them and improve university students’ learning experiences. The researchers used literature analysis methods to analyze the challenges in higher education in Taiwan, and analyze the pathways to overcome challenges. These pathways can address current challenges and help empower students to thrive in Taiwanese higher education, fostering an adaptable, skilled, and socially conscious generation of learners. These pathways are as follows: (1) In response to the declining birthrate, develop university curricula and courses incorporating diverse perspectives, improve university enrollment, and increase investment in higher education; (2) Improve teaching and learning quality assurance; (3) The internationalization of higher education promotes foreign internationalization and local internationalization; (4) Integrating technology into higher education teaching and providing more diverse online teaching and abundant learning experiences for students.
