To aid in the preservation of aboriginal culture, the Ministry of Education has recently considered introducing rules which would require that aboriginal children pass an examination in their mother tongue in order to receive extra points on the university entrance exam. The more highly educated aborigines of all the tribes have opposed such rules, however, for the surprising reason that their own children have no grasp of their mother tongue.
為了保存原住民文化，教育部最近研擬規定，以後原住民孩子要通過母語測驗才能獲得聯考加分，不料竟招來各族「知識份子」的反對，因為這些人的孩子已完全不懂母語了。
