Taiwan Aims to Attract 150,000 Foreign Students by 2020

Focus Taiwan reported in an article published last week that the government of Taiwan hopes to increase the number of foreign students studying in Taiwan from 78,000 last year to 150,000 by 2020. Having more foreign students on Taiwan campuses is linked to "an important election campaign promise of mine six years ago," said Taiwan’s president, referring to his "Ten Thousand Galloping Horses" project that encourages Taiwan's youngsters to travel overseas to broaden their life experiences while welcoming those from other countries to "make friends with our young in Taiwan."
