MOE Launches 'AI Talent Ark Project' with 11.755 Billion TWD Budget

The Ministry of Education (MOE) announced today the launch of the 'AI Talent Ark Project,' with a budget of 11.755 billion TWD over four years. The project focuses on a 'software-led hardware' approach, where the central government prioritizes the development of software and digital content, while using policy to drive local governments to update and purchase hardware. Education Minister Cheng Ying-yao emphasized that the goal is to ensure every student has a tablet within four years, regardless of whether they are in urban or rural areas. The project also includes significant funding for teacher training, AI-assisted teaching systems, and digital learning support.
