Comparative Study on Taiwan and Singapore's Recruiting Policy for Mainland Chinese Students

當前臺灣人口結構朝少子化及人口老化發展，已對國內社會結構、經濟發展等各方面產生重大影響，同樣也直接衝擊高等教育，近十年來高等教育迅速的擴張，大專校院數量過度膨脹且面臨生源減少，導致校系招生不足甚至可能倒閉，我國自2011年開放大陸學生來臺就讀大學學位，政策當初被期待成提昇臺灣高教水平、促進兩岸交流、甚而挽救私校的多重功能政策，惟因現行法令採取所謂的「三限六不」原則，影響陸生來臺意願，在歷經了4年的執行後，來臺陸生素質及招生人數均不如預期。 新加坡與臺灣有許多相似之處，同樣都是屬於海島型國家，國土狹小且缺乏自然資源，並且都以對外貿易做為主要經濟活動，政府非常重視教育和人力資源的開發，把發展教育和開發人力資源作為國家經濟發展戰略的一個重要組成部分，以提高勞動力的素質，維持經濟增長，保持國際競爭力，經研究發現，星國能運用便利完整留學資訊、以學費補助、提供獎學金及生活費等誘因吸引陸生，除了招攬人才條件清楚、政策明確等原因，堅強的國防實力及穩定的政治體制更提供政策執行力度及強度，讓新加坡近年來已成為陸生出國留學最佳選擇之一。 目前我國政府招收陸生政策，仍著眼於吸引優秀陸生來臺就學、提昇臺灣教育競爭力，而非在解決教育產業問題，故「限校、限量、限域」的「三限」原則在政策方向未改變之前仍有保留必要，而「六不」原則中，相關內容因有違吸引優秀陸生來臺的核心價值、嚴重影響招生成效、造成歧視感受、現實運作上的不切實際及淪為政策宣示等，應予以檢討修訂。陸生政策涉及複雜且敏感的兩岸關係，國家安全成為檢討政策開放或緊縮的關鍵因素，另我國政局紛亂動盪亦造成陸生隱憂，影響陸生來臺就學意願。 關鍵詞：陸生政策、三限六不、新加坡、臺灣Currently the population structure of Taiwan leads to the low birthrate and aging population. It made major impacts on all aspects of domestic social structure, economic development. It is also a direct impact on higher education.

The policy of “Mainland China Students Allowed to Study in Taiwan” focuses on attracting outstanding mainland students to enhance the competitiveness of the education in Taiwan. It doesn’t solve the problem of the education industry.To limit school, number and domain is the "three limits" principle. It must keep before the policy change. The "six noes" principle should be revised because it couldn’t attract outstanding mainland students coming to Taiwan.

The chaotic political situation has also caused mainland Chinese students’ worries and affected their motivation of studying.
