After new immigrants come to Taiwan, can their children attend regular public schools (senior high schools or vocational schools)?
1. Junior high school graduates or those with equivalent qualifications are eligible for admission to senior high schools. Senior high schools should adopt a diversified admission approach, with a primary emphasis on non-exam-based admissions. 2.Students graduating from public and private junior high schools (including junior high school departments of senior high schools) in Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung City (hereinafter referred to as "the district"), as well as those with equivalent qualifications, and those graduating or possessing equivalent qualifications from overseas Taiwanese schools and Taiwan-owned schools in mainland China with registered residency in the district, are eligible to apply for exemption from admission in the district. Graduates from junior high schools outside the district (including non-school-based experimental education students), those without equivalent qualifications from this district, students returning from mainland China and other countries for education (regardless of whether they are registered in the Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung city), and graduates from overseas Taiwanese schools and Taiwan-owned schools in mainland China not registered in the district, should complete the "Application for Changing School District" and "Application for Evaluation of Diverse Learning Performance Points" within the specified time in the admissions brochure to facilitate subsequent registration. 3.Individuals applying with foreign educational backgrounds must include authenticated copies of their foreign academic credentials and transcripts, alongside documentation of their entry and exit records issued by their respective immigration authorities. In cases where these processes are not finalized at the time of application, temporary registration may be permitted upon signing a declaration, consenting to voluntarily relinquish admission eligibility if necessary documents are not provided during registration.
