“…Moreover, better education financed by public expenditure reduces inequality in the distribution of income. Lin (2007) investigates on how income inequality responds to changes in the average level of schooling and educational inequality in Taiwan. In addition, two control variables, fertility rate and the ratio of high-tech products on total exports, are used in OLS regressions.…”

“…Todos concluyen que existe una relación positiva entre éstos fenómenos, es decir, cuánto mayor en la desigualdad educativa mayor es la inequidad de ingresos (Lam y Levison, 1991;O´Neill, 1995;Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, en Thomas y otros, 2001;Lin, 2006;Mesa, 2007).…”

Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas, 22(1). http://dx.doi.org/10.14507/epaa.v22n1.2014Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un indicador para cuantificar la equidad educativa interna. Se busca que el mismo sirva como herramienta para evaluar la evolución del fenómeno en el tiempo y para realizar comparaciones entre diferentes países o regiones. Para ello, se define el concepto de equidad educativa, se estudian las diferentes formas que se han utilizado para medirla y, finalmente, se propone el nuevo indicador. Éste es denominado "Índice de Inequidad Educativa Básica" y resume información acerca de la educación que poseen los individuos al finalizar el nivel básico. Luego, se utiliza este indicador para describir y comparar la equidad entre algunos países de América Latina (aquellos que participaron del Programa PISA en los años 2000 y/o 2009).

It seeks to make a tool to assess the evolution of the phenomenon in time, and to make comparisons between different countries or regions. To do this, the concept of educational equity is defined, the different forms that have been used to measure are studied, and, finally, the new indicator is proposed. The indicator, called the "Basic Educational Inequity Index," summarizes information about education held by individuals at the end of basic level. This indicator is then used to describe and compare the equity between selected Latin America countries (those that participated in PISA in the years 2000 and/or 2009).

“…Additionally, more departments have been added to attract more students owing to a keen competition among higher education institutions. Such tremendous expansion has elevated the average level of education of Taiwanese citizens (Lin, 2007); moreover, it has also transformed Taiwan's higher education from traditional elite education with a ratio of enrollment lower than 15% to general education (Throw, 1974). In 2006, a gross enrollment rate of 18-to 21-year-old students-those receiving education at colleges and universities with the exception of the first 3 years of education at five-year junior colleges, graduate schools and continuing schools-is estimated at 82.02%, in contrast to half that amount at 40.90% in 1996 and four times less at 21.58% in 1986 (Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, 2007).…”

Taiwan has undergone radical innovation of its educational system in the wake of political liberalization and democratization, with a request for a change in the idea which diverts from 'de-centralization' to 'individualization'. The reforms have led to two main features of pluralism and generalization of education in our current education system with a view to more equal and plural opportunities of education for students in Taiwan. Nevertheless, a number of reform tasks have been done in haste without discretion and have developed various problems with some deriving from the inherent educational system and some from the reform tasks themselves. The paper discusses three major educational reform concerns and the problems associated with these concerns including multilingual learning in elementary schools, overexpansion of higher education institutions and 12-year compulsory education.
