2,000 classrooms. The solution to this problem would be compiling
together the number of students in primary and middle school classes in
the metropolitan area, licensing Grade-A kindergartens to assist with the
management, or taking stock of the available spaces within government
agencies in order to rebuild or renovate for compulsory education for
five-year-old children.

4. Teaching credentials and solutions: Given the fact that two teachers
should be allocated in each class, it is estimated that there would be a
shortage of 11,000 early childhood education teachers. The solution is
to regularly recruit teachers every year and to assist certified preschool
caregivers to receive formal teacher certifications.

5. Education funding issues and solutions: (1) The increase of school
buildings will cost about 2.9 billion NT dollars. (2) The required cost
of having two teachers in every class is about 7.2 billion NT dollars. (3)
There will be about 300,000 students in kindergarten and the amount of
funds needed will be 140,000 NT dollars per student. A total of 28 billion
NT dollars is required. (4) The total cost of the above three items will be
about 38 billion NT dollars.

In order to consolidate the current types of preschool education grants to
facilitate the use of education funds, the funding solution is divided into
the following: five-year-old children funds from compulsory education
subsidies, 2-4 year-old children funds from preschool education subsidies,
and 0-2 year-old funds from childcare subsidies. The central government
coordinates and adequately increases the proportion of funds for early
childhood education.

study schedules should be match those of the primary school curriculum,
and the afternoon nursery issue can refer to regulation number four under
