NCKU President’s visit bolsters Taiwan’s ties with prestigious Myanmar universities
Tainan, Taiwan, July 6, 2016
National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) President Huey-Jen Jenny Su landed Yangon, Myanmar, on June 30, making a historic visit that she hopes it will bolster an important ally in higher education and offer a better understanding of Taiwan for Myanmar people.
She visited the Yangon University of Economics on June 30 giving a guest lecture titled "Shaping Taiwan's Future, City, Industry and University" to introduce the current development of education in Taiwan and the innovation within the impact of university-industry-government collaboration networks.
On the following morning, she gave another lecture to the faculty and students in the University of Yangon.
Dr. Omar Kyaw, Pro-Rector of Yangon University said, “During these years, we have carried out lots of rigid reforms. We have introduced more academic programs that enhance human resources in Myanmar. We have embargoed the missions to educate our students doing more creative and innovative study so that they will be able to face the challenge of knowledge exchange.”
The lecture Dr. Su is giving today meets what we are striving for. I am sure we will learn a lot from you, said Dr. Omar.
Su said, “Around ten years ago, my university was working to set up a platform to connect all the best universities from south-eastern Asian countries, so there are candidates and universities coming from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, even Brunei.”
Su again invites University of Yangon and the Yangon University of Economics to join the platform.
“We consider it a very effective platform over the past decades to connect the students, faculty as well as research capacity, and even the industry sectors altogether to participate in an effort that higher education can better contribute their human capital as well as their research and teaching outcome and have it flow back to the society to mobilize more resources together and therefore we can better our society in a meaningful way,” she noted.
Two history students of the Yangon University raised their hands to show their interests of pursuing education in Taiwan. They would like to know more about Taiwan’s education system, hoping more scholarships from Taiwan will be provided to Myanmar students.
In her talk, Su pinpointed the crucial position of Taiwan in the globe and the ASEAN, linking to the south-bund policy for Taiwan.
Going through the 12 pillars of global competitiveness index, Su proposed three dimensions that impact the overall performance, quality education, research, and triple-helix collaboration among university, industry and government.
Su also noted that NCKU’s research centers facilitate industry clustering and innovation among Taiwan in research and development, and the all the social impact was contributed through daily teaching and innovative curriculum design that enable students to engage to the society.
