A second campus of Taiwan's prestigious Shida Affiliated High (attached to National Taiwan Normal University) will open in Yunlin, planned as a 12-year continuous track for 900 students.
Taiwanese media reported that a second school of the Affiliated Senior High of National Taiwan Normal University (Shida Affiliated) will be established in Yunlin County in central Taiwan — read as a response to regional education demand.
광고 문의 · 300×250The new school is planned to run on a 12-year continuous track spanning elementary through high school, with enrollment discussed at around 900 — a design meant to raise stability through curricular continuity.
'Shida Affiliated' is a prestigious school known in Taiwan for long tradition and high academic achievement. That a branch would open in the central region rather than the capital area draws attention as regional balance in educational resources.
A 12-year track is cited as easing exam pressure at each stage of advancement and nurturing students under a consistent curriculum, though some note it reduces flexibility in school choice.
The local community hopes attracting a prestigious school will bring population inflow and regional development, rooted in a view that education is tied directly to a region's future.
Education is a familiar theme for the Sinophone community in Korea, too, since the school tracks, advancement and regional conditions of Chinese schools are longstanding community concerns.
The exact opening date and admissions method will be confirmed in follow-up announcements by the relevant authorities.
