Xie Shuling, a distinguished professor at the University of Science and Technology, took over as the director of the University Entrance Examination Center. The handover ceremony was held today. She emphasized that she was honored, but she also knew that she had a great responsibility. Therefore, she proposed three directions for future efforts, including fraud prevention and application of AI under the development of science and technology; strengthening communication internally with colleagues and externally with the public; and establishing various complete SOPs in the face of emergencies such as climate change.
Hsieh Shu-ling holds a doctorate in fishery science from National Taiwan University. Since 2003, she has taught at Fuying University of Science and Technology, Kaohsiung University of Marine Science and Technology, and the merged University of Science and Technology. She also served as the deputy provost, provost and vice president of the university, and has been deeply involved in the technical and vocational higher education system for a long time. He is currently a distinguished professor at the Department of Fishery and Food Science of the University of Science and Technology, focusing on research on the high-value application of marine resources, and won the 115th Teacher Award from the Ministry of Education.
Regarding taking over the new position, Xie Shuling feels honored but also aware of the heavy responsibility. She pointed out that the advent of the AI era has brought new challenges to exams, but it also creates new opportunities. Smart glasses, miniature lenses, etc. all test the anti-cheat mechanism, but at the same time, it can also make exam-related data analysis and research more sophisticated. In the future, she hopes to implement it on the teaching site to make the exam admission system smoother.
Secondly, I hope that communication can be more open and transparent, including internal communication, how to improve the financial mechanism and formulate incentive policies, so that colleagues can receive support in a good environment and move forward courageously. As for external communication, we hope that through communication between universities, high schools, parents and students, the public’s doubts about the college entrance examination can be understood and dealt with in a sincere manner.
The third part is to exert resilience and improve the ability to adapt to unexpected situations. Whether it is earthquakes, heavy rains, or information security issues, they all test the handling of exams. In the future, we hope to fully establish SOPs for these extreme situations, so that no matter what the situation is, we can ensure that the exam is safe and the learning outcomes of each candidate can be guaranteed.
Chen Wenwen, chairman of the National Examination Center and president of National Taiwan University, also mentioned in his speech that the postponement of examinations caused by typhoons and the fraud caused by smart tools with the development of electronic technology are very difficult, so the director of the National Examination Center may have to be "proficient in all kinds of martial arts." Xie Shuling has done very well in various positions in the past, and is also the winner of the Teacher Award. I believe that in the future, she will be able to operate very smoothly in various businesses, so that candidates can feel at ease, and university admissions can also be very smooth.
Zhu Junzhang, deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, said that the National College Entrance Examination Center is the radar of universities facing society. It will be the first to know about changes in high schools and make changes in talent selection and examinations. Xie Shuling has been working at the National University of Science and Technology, which was formed by the merger of three schools, for a long time. She is very familiar with communication and coordination. She believes that she can properly handle different challenges in the future with ease.
