Currently all male high school graduates have to undergo two to three years of military service before they can study abroad. It was recommended that the regulation be changed to allow these students to go abroad without having to undergo military service.
事實上，允許高中畢業生出國留學，並非無前例可循。民國卅九年教育部即規定，高中畢業生如獲國外大學四年全部獎學金者，可經由留學考出國深造，現任行政院國家科學委員會主任委員陳履安就是一個例子。
