A Quarter of Children Who Were Assisted by the Taiwan Fund for Children & Family Believed They Can Only Get a High School Education

This, is why there’s, this need for a welfare foundation that helps children finish their basic level of education like Taiwan Fund for Children & Family, from the Newspapers, translated…

Due to the reductions of birthrate, the acceptance rate of universities and colleges had risen to close to a hundred-percent, but, the survey from the Taiwan Fund for Children & Family showed, that sixty-percent of children receiving assistance believed that their family situations would affect them from getting a higher education; and, there are, twenty-five-percent of the children who only believed, that they’re only able to, get through the high school systems.

In order to help these children from lower economic statuses to feel secure studying in school, the foundation set up the financial assistance program in the high school and university levels, and called out to the public, to help out these children to get out of the cycle of poverty.

The student, Xing originally can get accepted into the food and services major of Jingwen Technical University, but, because of her background, and her father who was bedridden, she’d chosen the school that’s closer to the school, and started in the medical technology majors.  She said, “I’d still loved the food majors”, but, being in the food majors, there’s so much cost in the foods, the fees for using the equipment at school, plus, if she’d gone out of county to study, she may not be able to look after her father, she’d decided, to put her dreams on hold temporarily.

Jun, who loved art when she was young, had planned to study in the designs majors away, but because of the physical conditions of her grandmother and grandfather, and how costly for the materials for the art department, she’d decided to go to a community high school.  But she stressed, “I won’t give up my dreams in art”, she plan to part-time, save up the money, to save up for her own college tuition, and the costs of the materials and equipment she’d needed for her art.

Based off of the database of the poverty surveys by the Foundation for Children & Family, only twenty-five percent of children who were helped by the foundation believed that they’re capable, of entering into colleges.

Life is really difficult, for these children who lived below the poverty lines, they needed to worry about a lot of things, their families, their job outlooks, and because of the lacking in funding, many don’t have the opportunity, to finish high school, which is why there’s, this desperate need for a foundation like Taiwan Fund for Children & Families here!  After all, shouldn’t getting a high school education be a RIGHT of every single child?
