The Ministry of Education's “Recognition and Guidance Program for Self-Review of Faculty Qualifications at Colleges and Universities” has successfully completed its second semester on-site visit operations for Academic Year 2024. The Taiwan Assessment and Evaluation Association, commissioned by the Ministry of Education to implement this program, organized professional visiting guidance teams and conducted visits to 15 institutions from March 31 to June 6, 2024. Through documentary review and on-site visits, the program comprehensively examined the operational status of faculty qualification review at each institution. The visit process focused on dimensions including regulatory completeness, procedural rationality, external review mechanisms, promotion of diversified advancement pathways, and academic ethics compliance, proposing concrete guidance and improvement recommendations to assist schools in establishing more comprehensive self-review systems. By clarifying review processes and standards, the program strengthened implementation capacity and transparency, preventing disputes and litigation arising from improper procedures or ambiguous standards. Through the continued deepening and implementation of this program, it aims to assist institutions in optimizing faculty review system operations, promoting institutional self-regulation and external accountability, further consolidating the professionalism, impartiality, and social trust of higher education.
