Professor Chen Kuang-hui of NTNU observes that comparing civics courses (called "thought and politics" on the mainland) across the strait, the values stressed on either side such as the group versus the individual, Confucianist thinking versus socialist morality, initiative versus obedience, etc., make him feel there is a great difference between the Chinese under the two educational systems, and we need to increase communication.
台灣師範大學教授陳光輝指出，從公民類科（大陸稱思想政治）的比較看來，兩岸強調的價值觀，如集體對個人，儒家思想對社會主義道德，自動自發對服從等，使他覺得兩岸教育體系下的中國人有很大不同，需要加緊溝通。
