In order to enrich the learning resources of elementary and junior high school students in remote areas, the K-12 Education Administration, Ministry of Education, continues to promote the Teaching in Exchange for Accommodation program and has commissioned the National Chengchi University to establish the Ruro Platform as a bridge between schools and volunteers with a view to motivating enthusiastic volunteers or retired teachers to conduct collaborative teaching in remote areas, guide school clubs, and lead camp activities. In return, schools provide free accommodations and share local cultural experience. This year, 36 schools and 56 volunteers have participated. So far, this platform has assisted 202 schools in rural areas through recruiting 417 teaching volunteers, achieving fruitful results and increasing educational momentum in rural schools.
