Tien Chen-jung points out that Taiwan's technical and vocational schools turned themselves into technical colleges and then science and technology universities under the guidance of the Ministry of Education. He complains that a failure to ask questions about the nature of these schools, the quality of students and the curriculums on offer led to a situation where schools fought tooth and nail to enroll students at all costs.
台灣師大工業教育系主任田振榮指出，我國技專院校在教育部主導下，紛紛從專科改制為技術學院，再朝科技大學邁進，卻不問學校特色、學生素質、辦學品質等差異，導致學校間為招生而產生排擠效應。
