  2. Abstract • Introduction • System 1. Elite Programs • System 2. Science Affairs • National Primary and High School Science Fair • Taiwan International Science Fair • System 3. Mathematical Competitions • National IMO Selection Competition

  3. Introduction • List of Gifted Classes in High Schools

  4. Introduction Outside of the gifted classes in high schools, three major education systems for Taiwanese talented children are: • Elite Programs • Science Affairs • Mathematical Competitions

  5. 1. Elite Programs Program for high school gifted students • Jointly hosted by the Ministry of Education and the National Science Council. • Five sub-programs: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. • In each sub-program, ten domestic scholars are invited to be the advisor of these students.

  6. 1. Elite Programs Other Elite Programs • Foundation of United Microelectronic Corporation • National University of Kaohsiung • Department of Applied Mathematics, National Sun Yat-sen University • Department of Applied Mathematics, National Hsinchu University of Education Students in these programs usually further participate in science fairs and / or mathematical competitions to further pursue their talents in Mathematics, which we would introduce in the following.

  7. 2. Science Fairs There are two major science fairs in Taiwan: • National Primary and High School Science Fair • Taiwan International Science Fair

  8. 2. Science Fairs National Primary and High School Science Fair • Founded in 1960 • Hosted by the National Taiwan Science Education Center • Over 200,000 students and teachers participate the contests annually, with over 20,000 projects are presented each year, leaving a widespread and significant impact.

  9. 2. Science Fairs

  10. 2. Science Fairs National Primary and High School Science Fair • In 1982, the International Science and Engineering Affair (ISEF) of USA begin to invite Taiwanese student to the fair. • At the beginning, 2 students are selected from the National Primary and High School Science Fair to participate ISEF. • In 1989, due to the outstanding performance of Taiwanese students, the ISEF raises the number of students to 6, selecting two students each from each of the northern, central and southern Taiwan.

  11. 2. Science Fairs National Primary and High School Science Fair • From that on, more and more international science fairs invite Taiwanese student to participate, with the number of invitations increasing rapidly that eventually exceeds the scope of the original National Primary and High School Science Fair.

  12. 2. Science Fairs Taiwan International Science Fair • Founded in 1991, and renamed in 2002. • Select students to participate international science fairs including: • Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) • Expo Sciences International (ESI) in Slovakia • Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) • Hong Kong Joint School Science Exhibition (HKJSSE) • Singapore Science and Engineering Fair

  13. 2. Science Fairs Taiwan International Science Fair The Taiwanese contestant performs extremely well in these fairs. • Between1982 and 2010, a total of 160 projects of Taiwanese students have been selected to compete at ISEF. • They have won: 1 Intel Young Scientists award, 9 Best of Category Awards, 92 Grand Awards and 106 Special Awards. • The ratio of Taiwanese students to win a Grand Award is about 64% (102/160), which outperforms the ratio of all participants, which is around 30%.

  14. 2. Science Fairs Recently, two other science affairs arise that exist simultaneously with the existing two major affairs: • The Macronix Science Award • Shing-Tung Yau High School Mathematics Award

  15. 3. Mathematical Competitions National IMO selection competition • Suggested by Prof. Shiing-Shen Chern in Nov. 1990. • In Dec. 1990, the authority approved the suggestion, assigning Prof. Fon-Che Liu for IMO and also Prof. Jau-D Chen for APMO. • Taiwan begins to participate in APMO since 1991, and in IMO since 1992. • Prof. Chen is in charge of Taiwan IMO program from 1992 to 2002. • Prof. Cheng-Der Fuh is in charge of Taiwan IMO program since 2003.

  16. 3. Mathematical Competitions National IMO selection competition • Suggested by Prof. Shiing-Shen Chern in Nov. 1990. • In Dec. 1990, the authority approved the suggestion, assigning Prof. Fon-Che Liu for IMO and also Prof. Jau-D Chen for APMO. • Taiwan begins to participate in APMO since 1991, and in IMO since 1992. • Prof. Chen is in charge of Taiwan IMO program from 1992 to 2002. • Prof. Cheng-Der Fuh is in charge of Taiwan IMO program since 2003.
