Former DTEV director Wu Ching-chi, who is now director of the Taipei City Bureau of Education, argues that technical and vocational education has not been given either the importance or respect it deserves, a fact he puts down to "an obsession with educational advancement and over-concentration on examination success."
前教育部技職司長、現任台北市教育局長吳清基認為，技職教育沒有得到應有的重視和尊嚴，「是升學主義和文憑主義下的迷思」。
