TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Ministry of Education (MOE) has doubled its budget for the promotion of elderly education to NT$46.54 million for 2008 as Taiwan's senior population continues to increase, ministry officials said Wednesday.
The amount compares with the NT$25.75 million earmarked for 2006 and NT$22.25 million for 2007, the officials said.
The program targeting seniors is in line with a white paper released by the ministry in 2006 to outline the government's education policy addressing a gradually greying society. Unveiled in the document are four major visions that the government aims to achieve: enhancing life-long learning, health and happiness, independence and self-esteem, and social participation among senior citizens.
