碩士 / 淡江大學 / 大陸研究所 / 87 / Due to the rising number of Taiwanese enterprises to China and the increasing of their investment items and amount, the resident Taiwan businessmen and accredited cadres also increase rapidly. In addition to the various problems in investment which wait for them to solve, the problems of daily living also influence their dispatched missions' success. Since Taiwan businessmen and the accredited cadres to China usually reach their age of getting married, so the marriage and children education problems are their must serious cares. Many of them bring their wife and children with themselves to China in order to make the family stay together. However, they have to encounter the children education problems because there probably are not appropriate schools for their children to study in.
By doing field research in two places, Shanghai and Xiamen, to gather the 28 interviewees' opinions and go further analyzing, this thesis finds the following points:
A. Local School:
a. The reasons of choosing local schools for children include: 1.learning of standard Chinese,
2.receiving the traditional education,
3.preparing for future higher study back to Taiwan,
4.planned cultivation, simple studying environment.
b. The education problems encountered in local schools include:
1.high pressure of further education,
2.interference of political ideology,
3.questioning on teachers' quality and their approach,
4.the difference in teaching materials, forms of written character,
5. spelling and dialects (Shanghai).
B. International School:
a. The reasons of choosing international schools for children include:
1.receiving western education .
2.preparing for studying aboard in the future.
b. The education problems encountered in international schools include:
1.obstacles in foreign language ability,
2.weakening of Chinese speaking,
3.linkage to Taiwan's education being disconnected,
4.children being apt to have sense of superiority, expensive tuition or school fees.
C. The living condition of the interviewees' children in locality:
1.very good matterial conditions,
2.their objects of friendship also have similar background,
3. the frequency of changing school is high.
D. The interviewees' opinions on the "Taiwan Businessmen School":
a. Both Shanghai and Xiamen need the establishment of such school, especially Shanghai.
b. The most required level of school is elementary school.
c. The education materials and teachers are hoped to come from Taiwan.
d. The question on accepting the local students or not has opposite opinions.
e. The tuition and school fees are hoped to follow the example of private schools in Taiwan.
No matter choosing the local or international school for their children, Taiwan businessmen and resident accredited cadres in China all encounter some troubling education problems. I wish this research could provide help for related organizations or persons for reference or further study. And also wish it could have some contribution to push the establishment of the "Taiwan Businessmen School".
