Lawmakers urge Ministry of Education to review curriculum guideline changes 

The student protesters have also requested that the Legislature hold an extraordinary session to address the changes. Lawmakers ruled against that today, but they did say that the Ministry of Education should immediately conduct a review. 

In an early caucus meeting, the KMT decided not to open an extraordinary session to handle controversy over the curriculum guideline changes.

100 percent of lawmakers who were present raised hands to vote to not hold an extraordinary session because this issue falls under the authority of the executive branch. We must respect its authority.

Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng then conducted cross-party negotiations. While the caucuses agreed not to hold the extraordinary session, they recommended that the Ministry of Education immediately review the changes and that schools be able to decide what textbooks to use for the coming school year.

Our biggest breakthrough today was suggesting that a new review of the curriculum guideline changes take place. This generally conforms with the student’s demands. We reached this conclusion so people could feel at ease leaving.

Deputy Education Minister Lin Teng-chiao said that, in principal, a mechanism for review of the curriculum guideline changes would be launched by the end of this month.
