The NEA pointed out that in response to the 12-year national education syllabus for junior high school and elementary school students, they can take the new immigrant language courses as elective courses. Since the 2019 school year, the National Central University (國立中央大學) has been appointed to handle the "New Immigrant Language Courses Online Live Teaching Program" and hired new immigrants teaching support staff specializing in language teaching from seven countries (Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and the Philippines). Combined with online digital learning materials, and through the remote live broadcast model, teachers and course resources are brought to schools in rural areas.
