Representative Nettleton praised Taiwan’s achievements in containing COVID-19, especially in creating a safe learning environment for both local and foreign students. The bilateral student and teacher exchange programs on both English and Chinese language instruction will be the next step for further collaborations between the UK and Taiwan, she added.
Minister Pan also invited Representative Nettleton and her colleagues to visit Taiwan’s outstanding universities, especially those known for their big data and AI programs, and industry-academia cooperation, to explore further collaborations in innovation and entrepreneurship between universities in Taiwan and those in the UK.
Representative Nettleton even proposed signing a higher-level memorandum of understanding on education between the British Office Taipei and the Taiwan Ministry of Education, so as to expand the breadth and depth of educational exchanges between the two countries. She also invited Minister Pan to attend the “Taiwan-UK Higher Education Online Forum” in October this year and the world education minsters’ conference, the “Education World Forum” in UK in May 2021.
