Adviser: Carol H. Weiss.

Thesis (Ed.D.)--Harvard University, 1998.

The goal of this dissertation is to understand the factors that have influenced the availability of public, private, general, and vocational, higher education in Taiwan from 1951 to 1995. Document reviews, interviews, and time series regression analyses were used to triangulate the relationships between the availability of higher education and the factors suggested by the literature on educational expansion.

520 $a The goal of this dissertation is to understand the factors that have influenced the availability of public, private, general, and vocational, higher education in Taiwan from 1951 to 1995. Document reviews, interviews, and time series regression analyses were used to triangulate the relationships between the availability of higher education and the factors suggested by the literature on educational expansion.
520 $a The findings show that the state-centered approach provides a better account of the availability of higher education in Taiwan. In the authoritarian era, the state could suppress, redefine, or ignore the influence of social forces and construct a higher educational system based on its own interests. In the mid-1960s, the state expanded private junior colleges (particularly five-year ones), rather than colleges and universities, to lessen the fierce competition in Joint College Entrance exams, to increase economic development, and to control the unemployment rates of college graduates. However, the state's capacity to expand higher education was limited by its economic strength and the economic and human resources in society. Poor private input and the shortage of qualified faculty members ruined the quality of higher education.
520 $a From 1972 to 1985, the state banned the opening of private schools in response to criticisms about the quality of higher education. After the mid-1980s, the political liberalization and the budget boom led to the second rapid expansion of higher education. The state became weaker and the availability of higher education was affected more by political considerations derived from electoral pressure. Changes in assumptions about higher education also turned higher education into a popular education as well as a consumptive good and reversed the relationship between economic and educational development. The influence of the factors in the demand model, such as status competition and labor market demands, also emerged more.
520 $a Two forces not discussed in the literature on educational expansion were found to have affected the availability of higher education in Taiwan. One was the organizational force and the other was cultural tradition. Intra- and inter organizational factors as well as traditional diploma worship also affected the development of higher education.
