MOE denies pressure from KMT over English-teaching plan** 2010-05-15 12:00 AM
 * Taiwan News

Education Minister Wu Ching-chi yesterday refuted media reports that the ministry's decision to reject Taipei County's plan to have elementary-school students take three extra English-language classes per week came under pressure from the ruling Kuomintang Secretary-General King Pu-tsung.

Wu told reporters yesterday afternoon that the ministry's stance remained unchanged from the beginning because the decision had made out of professionalism and administrative autonomy. He also denied the reports on the KMT top official behind the rejection.

Elementary school students nationwide start English classes in the third grade, with two classes per week. But students in Taipei City and Hsinchu areas begin their classes in the first grade.

To provide children with more opportunities in practicing English, Taipei County Government plans to launch the English-related program that elementary school students would have two extra English classes and an advanced reading class each week starting this September.

The ministry first supported the project but asked the county government to postpone it because some members from the National Teachers Association had reportedly visited King on Wednesday. The Taipei County Teachers Association also announced that it would take to the streets on Sunday to protest the plan.
