Taiwan committed to education

Solomonstar News, 7 December, 2006 - 1:45pm.
By MOFFAT MAMU

THE Republic of China (ROC) has reiterated that it is committed to supporting the education sector in the country.

Speaking to Solomon Star yesterday, the Republic of China (ROC) Ambassador to Solomon Islands George Chan said Taiwan is a close friend of Solomon Islands and would continue to support the country through technical programs and other activities.

One of them is through education.

He said Solomon Islands had the potential to develop given the nation is better educated.He said Taiwan had recognised the need of Solomon Islands.Mr Chan also reiterated this same segment at the Mt Horeb graduation ceremony last week. “We have spent considerable amount of money through your government in education to help the children in this country in education,” he said.During the graduation at Betikama Adventist College, Mr Chan also told the students to study hard and be a beneficiary to Taiwan scholarship.Over the last few years Taiwan had opened its educational institutions to take in Solomon Islands students to be educate in Taiwan.

Currently there are 17 Solomon students studying in Taiwan.He pointed out the Taiwan scholarship awards have provided many Solomon students with opportunities to further their studies at the national, regional and overseas universities and institutions. Currently, Taiwan offers three kinds of scholarship to the Solomon students.The first one - the most prestigious “Taiwan Scholarship Program Awards,” in which there are five awardees this year and they have started their first year of Mandarin language training and will conduct another four years of undergraduate study afterwards.The second scholarship is through the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat based in Suva, Fiji.

This year, there are 23 awardees from the Pacific Islands States and Solomon Islands has the lion’s share of the quota, which is nine out of the 23 students.The third one is “SIG National and Overseas Training & Education Awards,” in which this year we have committed SBD$16.7 million to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development.

Close to 500 Solomon students have benefited from the assistance which covered their traveling expenses, accommodation allowances and tuition.
