Helpful Tips to Get Started

Part I: International Schools in Taiwan

1/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Currently there are 22 international schools in Taiwan. A “true” international school as defined by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education requires that the student holds a foreign passport. Note this definition is different from a school that offers an international curriculum and does not require a foreign passport. There are a few schools in Taiwan that fall into this category, which we will cover in Part II of this article. 

There are a variety of International schools in Taiwan, American vs Japanese, religious vs secular, and a European school in between. Of the 22 international schools, there are 2 Korean schools, 3 Japanese, 1 European and the rest, American. The Taipei European School is unique in the sense that it is one school with two campuses (lower school upper school) housing three independent schools—The British, French and German section, with each of the sections running its national curriculum respectively. Geographically, there are 8 schools in Taipei, 1 School in New Taipei City, 2 Schools in Hsinchu, 2 in Hsinchu County, 1 in Taoyuan, 3 in Taichung, and 5 in Kaohsiung.

Whether you’re starting a new company, have a long-established firm, or are simply working as an employee or contractor, there’s no question that you must be vigilant in this area.
Little wonder, then, that we frequently receive questions over issues like labor disputes, employee separation, and remote and contract work. Every situation presents unique circumstances, but we can offer a framework to think about labor issues here.

Why apply for grants? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

 Much has been said of the Taiwanese government’s commitment to innovation. However, for foreign entrepreneurs even those with ARCs—permanent residency, obtaining government funding has been nothing short of daunting. Many foreign entrepreneurs who have been encouraged by various government agencies to tap the government well only to come up empty have found the process to be frustrating, leading many to question whether the “free money” is as real as the proverbial pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Start-ups usually die of suicide, not homicide, except when you face a once in a century pandemic.

4/10/2020

​Normally, I’d say that start-ups fail because they shoot themselves in the foot rather than being destroyed by a competitor. But, if you’re not fearful now, you’re either oblivious, delusional, trying to be contrarian or dumb. All of which do not bode well for your survival prospects. (If you see something that others don’t see, more power to you.)
