Last year when Nantou County was in need of 159 English teachers, only 15 MOE-certified instructors stepped forward to fill the vacancies. Moreover, when the time came, only six out of those 15 reported to their new teaching posts. And in Hualien County, where 60 teachers were required, only 12 out of the original 24 successful applicants were willing to stick it out and complete their appointment.
一年前南投縣需要一百五十九名英語教師，教育部培訓的師資只有十五人報名並且全獲錄取，最後只有六人報到；花蓮縣需要六十名教師，二十四人獲錄取，結果只有十二人願意留在花蓮縣任教。
