Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hong'an, who is running for re-election, held the founding meeting of the "Hsinchu is safe, Hsinchu is good to learn 2.0" education support association in the afternoon. Hundreds of education circles and parent supporters poured into the scene. Gao Hong'an emphasized that the past four years have brought about 4 changes and 6 major directions. In the future, "Hsinchu is good to learn 2.0" will continue to be launched. In the next four years, 60 billion education budget will be invested to promote "K-12 technology bilingual schools" and other education policies.
Gao Hongan said that "Hsinchu Loves to Learn" has brought six major directions in the past four years, including campus optimization, smart campus, safe schooling, welfare upgrades, healthy city, and diversity and inclusion.
The first of the four changes is the new school building plan of "18 schools and 24 buildings". In the past four years, a total of 5.9 billion yuan has been invested, and a total of 32 new classes and 1,010 places have been added to the high school. Early childhood education also expanded to 33 classes.
The second step is to invest 603 million yuan to build educational trails for 28 schools. The third change is "big screens in every class". 240 million yuan has been invested to install new smart electronic whiteboards in every classroom of junior high schools and elementary schools in Zhu City to keep up with the wave of digital education. It also provides AI courses for teachers and has established the first digital experimental high school in Hsinchu City. It will continue to add classes next year. In addition, Jianhua Junior High School has been approved to be restructured into a full middle school. It is expected that there will be 4 general classes and 1 Waldorf experimental education class, with a total enrollment of 176 students. Next year, there will be the first class of Jianhua High School students. In the future, more than 400 million yuan will be continuously invested in adding school buildings.
The fourth change is the division of school districts and dedicated buses to school. It adopts "single school district, nearby enrollment", "common school district, providing choices", "sunset clause, buffer enrollment". At the same time, 8 safe buses are provided to allow children to go to school with peace of mind. This policy has been officially implemented in the 114th school year.
Gao Hongan pointed out that the city government will invest a total of 60 billion in the education budget in the next four years. Hsinchu City will also soon have a "K-12 science and technology bilingual school". In this K-12 science and technology bilingual school, a science and technology digital education chain from kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school to high school will be realized. In the next four years, 1:1 smart learning will be gradually achieved. AI adaptive education will be used from the third grade of elementary schools, VR and AR will be introduced in junior high schools, and immersive learning and future classrooms will be completed in the third grade of high schools. In addition, she will also promote semiconductor popular science courses and drone courses, so that 51 elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in the city will be equipped with semiconductor popular science courses, so that children in Hsinchu City can truly stand up in the world and become children of science and technology.
