累翻了!台灣學生期待能晚點到校 Taiwanese students hope for a delayed school start time

Junior and senior high schools in Taiwan usually start between 7:30 to 8:00 AM. A survey conducted by the Taiwan Youth Association for Democracy (TYAD) showed that nearly 90% of respondents believe that it is necessary to delay the school start time. Among the 4,022 respondents, 63.7% are students from senior high and 26.1% from junior high and elementary schools.

On the National Development Council’s Public Policy Online Participation Platform, the “Change the junior and senior high school time to 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM” proposal passed the threshold last December. Relevant government departments then had to review it.

Next, the Ministry of Education (MOE) will hold two online public hearings on the issue on August 19 and 24.

 

友善讓你懂 │ 解說:

 
台灣的國高中,通常在每天七點半到八點之間展開一天的課程。一項由「台灣青年民主協會」(Taiwan Youth Association for Democracy, TYAD)所進行的調查,顯示出將近九成的受訪者,認為有必要延後學生的到校時間。這4,022位受訪者中,63.7%為高中生,26.1%則是國中及國小學生,可見幾乎是台灣學生們的主流心聲。

將「國高中學生上課時間改成上午九點半到下午五點」的提案,去年12月在國家發展委員會(National Development Council)的「公共政策網路參與平台」(Public Policy Online Participation Platform)上,已順利通過連署附議門檻。政府相關部門依法需進行檢視並回應。

因此接下來,教育部將針對這個議題於8月19日、及24日舉辦兩次線上公聽會。

在開放社會中,民眾可透過不少平台與民主機制進行提案,並要求主管機關回應,此行為相關的常用詞彙如下:

  • submit a petition/proposal 遞交請願/提案
  • sign 參與連署
  • gather the signatures 收集連署簽名
  • reach/pass/exceed the threshold 達到/通過/超過門檻

例句:
After submitting the petition, you need to gather 5,000 signatures to reach the threshold.
在遞交請願後,你必須收集到五千個附議簽名才能夠通過連署門檻。
