Schools can only do so much compilation on their own, and most of it is in the area of so-called "school-developed curriculum," i.e. the 20 % of the curriculum that the Ministry of Education's new nine-year integrated curriculum has left for schools and teachers to create. School-developed curriculum tends to concentrate primarily on general activities and thematic, cross-disciplinary teaching units.
話雖如此，編教材工程浩大，目前學校能夠自編的教材有限，大多局限在所謂的「學校本位」範圍內，像是「綜合活動領域」，或是主題式的跨領域統整。
