For a long time, the Ministry of Education treated all schools, public and private, regardless of level, as bureaucratic agencies over which it had control. The MOE exercised detailed management of all aspects of school life, including personnel, accounting, curriculum, and examinations.
無可諱言，長期以來，教育部一直把全國各級公私立學校當做下屬公務機構來管理，不管是學校的人事、會計、課程編排、學生成績考核等，都在教育部鉅細靡遺的掌控中。
