All the faculties under the excellent leadership of the university positively engage in various researches on educational theories and practices, teaching and popularization services. We get good proficiency, and now we own the leadership of domestic educational territory. Moreover, we are the most important educational research unit in the center and southern part of Taiwan . The College of Education evaluates the demand of the society and the trend of educational development, and will set up new departments such as Graduate and Doctoral Institute of Higher Education, Graduate Institute of Education Leadership and National Development and Graduate Institute of Corrective Education and Counseling.
