Abstract

One of the main focuses of the education system in Taiwan is on how to provide different types of curriculum to develop the potential of students in the different academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or those who have other talents as well. This chapter aims to introduce these science education programmes for students in Taiwan. Overall, the education system in Taiwan, including the education system, is influenced by both Western education beliefs and Confucianism, which is rooted in the majority of Asian cultures. In Taiwan, education, along with education for students with disabilities, is categorised as special education. Gifted education in elementary school is for students who are identified as general intellectual gifted and is not divided into different professional areas; the identification begins in the third grade. Gifted education teachers in elementary schools need to earn education credits in universities.
