@maskhat4rack: As of early 2026, Taiwan's education system faces a critical shift, marked by the inauguration of the first public "Taiwanese Language Experimental Elementary School" on or around January 10, 2026, in response to a decline in native speakers. This initiative aims to address a Mandarin-dominated system that has seen a decline in Taiwanese-speaking youth, prompting parents to seek immersion environments to preserve the language. Furthermore, data indicates Taiwan continues to have long school days, averaging 8.5 hours. #maskhat4rack #platjmk
