Related Authorities

In Mainland China, scholarships are under the charge of the State Study Abroad

Fund Management Committed as delegated by the Ministry of Education. In Australia,

the Department of Education, Training and Science, is in charge of scholarships. In

Japan, the scholarships are under the charge of Japan Student Services Organization

(JSSO) which is under the Ministry of Education and Science. In Taiwan,

scholarships are offered by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs and are under the charge of the Bureau of International Cultural and

Educational Relations R.O.C. It can be concluded from related authorities of studying

abroad polices that such polices are usually under the charge of organizations in the

ministry of education. However, the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs offers more

generous scholarships to countries that have diplomatic relations with Taiwan to

maintain such relations by studying abroad polices. This measure has special purpose

in the backdrop of diplomatic difficulties in Taiwan.

3. Conclusion

Due to the increasing number of people who are coming to study, campus staff

has many opportunities for contact with foreign students. In order to provide

appropriate support and assistance for foreign students, it is very important to improve

the English ability of school staff. The curriculum and instructional arrangements may

need to pay more efforts in assisting international students. On the other hand, student

affair services need to be strengthened. This study recommends improving the English

ability for staff on campus in order to construct a friendly campus environment for

foreign students. Moreover, as Japan government’s vision, to cultivate world citizen

and create a global role in improving human capital is another good point for Asian

countries in developing their educational policies since Asian countries has played an

increasingly important role in world society.
