Wu Ming-tung, special coach for weightlifting at the Youchang Middle School in Kaohsiung City, points out that many middle and high schools in Taiwan already have weightlifting teams, and those who will join their teams have reserved places in those schools. There are also places reserved for weight lifters in admissions to college and university.
高雄市右昌國中舉重專任教練吳銘通指出，台灣各地已經有很多國高中有舉重隊，選手畢業大都可以升學並且繼續練舉重，大專院校的保送甄審、甄試或是獨立招生也有舉重一項。
