"Quantitative change has brought about qualitative change," says Tai Hsiou-hsia. Higher education's curricula have been changing. Fields once regarded as non-academic and unsuitable for the university have been absorbed into it, and all manner of new programs have been founded. Meanwhile, the traditional academic programs have had to adjust to reflect students 'abilities, interests and career plans, so as not to become outdated and be cast aside.
「量變產生質變，」戴曉霞指出，高等教育的課程已經起了變化，不但原本被認為學術理論性不高而被排除在大學門外的領域，如今紛紛成立新科系，大學原本的課程也被認為必須適度反映學生的能力、興趣和生涯規畫，以免學非所用，流於浪費。
