Taiwan has enforced the educational reforms since the academic year of 1994. One of the policies is expand the chance for further education by means of increasing the senior high schools and launching the comprehensive high schools. From academic year of 2001, the policy of high school integrating with local community was undertaken, the core objectives are balancing the gaps between the urban and country districts and promoting the educational quality of the general and vocational high schools. Therefore the government encouraged the students attend the nearby schools to save the social costs and set up the fundamental for the 12-Year Compulsory Education. The enrolment rate of the junior student graduates have been over 96% in the recent years. If the student has the will for further education, the chance is almost 100%. However, the pressure of enrolment has never eased off or calmed down. Because the pursuits for the ¡§elite school¡¨ have never faded off among the mind of the general public. The expectation for entering the ¡§elite senior high school¡¨ for the students and their parents is to seek a better opportunity for superior social class. They do not understand the objectives of diversified social values and hindered the students to seek for their best development by their talent and orientation. Even thought, can the ¡§elite senior high school¡¨ guarantee a ticket to the higher education? The study focus on the junior high school graduates with the same score level of the basic competence test comparing the differences on their academic performances, motives for further education and their reception of education according their different choice of attending schools 3 years after the graduation. The major findings are as listed below: 1. The students who chose the nearby schools they have better grades for the Academic Attainment Testing for university than the students who attend the schools located on different districts. 2. Most of the senior high school students choose their attending school on the preferences of the conventional social values (according the traditional ranking of high schools). The second consideration is the traffic, the reputation of school and the faculties. The incentive of high scholarship is the latest consideration of choosing school. The key for the student chose to attend the schools nearby is on the schools¡¦ high quality educational environment and their good tradition and the word- of- mouth reputation. 3.

The study concluded with some suggestions on the enforcements of the ¡§academic district allocation¡¨ and ¡§nearby school enrollment¡¨ for the 12-Year Compulsory Education. Key words: nearby school enrollment; cross academic district enrollment; comprehensive high school

因應各國中等教育普及化的潮流，教育部擬以高中職社區化為十二年國民教育奠基，將台灣劃分為四十五個適性學習社區，並以均衡高中職城鄉差距、提高國中畢業生就近入學之機會為目的。本研究以雲林縣三個適性學習社區為例，檢視各社區高中、職的就學機會是否均衡，並觀察學生通學活動的情形，是否符合社區內就近入學的期待，藉此對適性學習社區的地理範圍規劃，與其劃分原則提出修正的建議。 本研究發現，雲林縣整體就學機會率較他縣市低落，高中、職學校集中於特定鄉鎮，空間分布不甚平均，不利於學生就近就學，而產生部分學生向外縣市通學的情形。外縣市通學的人口中，以高職生為多，多往嘉義縣、市為就學地；顯示雲林縣境內就學機會的供給不敷需求，高職就學機會不均的現象比高中嚴重許多。而就雲林縣三個適性學習社區觀察，雲二區、雲三區內高中、職學生區內就讀的比例皆為六成以上，是為社區內就近就學的良好基礎；雲一區學生外流的情形嚴重，特別是高職學生，往嘉義縣、市通學的趨勢集中，顯示雲一區內就學機會供不應求的情形嚴重，值得注目。對教育當局的建議有二：（1）高中、職通學活動範圍不同，不宜以同一地理界線劃分；（2）雲一區學生向外通學現象嚴重，宜增設高中職校改善之。 / With the popularization of post-secondary education, the Ministry of Education adopts the plan of “Community Senior High School and Vocational School” to connect with the compulsory education. In this plan, Taiwan has been divided into 45 “Adaptive Learning Communities” and the purpose is to diminish the urban-rural difference and increase the opportunity of nearby school enrollment. This study observes the geographical distribution of students in the three communities in Yunlin to examine the condition of nearby school enrollment. The conclusions are as follows: Senior high schools and vocational schools distributes disproportionately in Yunlin. In other words, almost all schools concentrate in the few towns. It is common for students to commute between residential and school districts, especially for the students enrolled in vocational school. Many non-resident students commute to Chiayi, and the flow of the commuter shows that the supply is unable to meet the demand of school enrollment totally in Yun-1st community. Besides, there are still many students enrolled in nearby schools in Yun-2nd Community and Yun-3rd Community. Based on the results and discoveries of this study, the following suggestions are proposed: (1)The range of the community should be re-divided for senior high schools and vocational schools respectively. (2)It is necessary to establish more schools in Yun-1 community to increase the supply of the opportunity of the nearby school enrollment.
