The Ministry of Education (MOE) actually began implementing its own "priority regions" program for educationally under-resourced mountain areas and outlying islands back in 1996, before Boyo, the Yonglin Foundation and other such institutions became involved in remedial education. The MOE's objective was to assist students in those areas by providing them computer systems, nutritious lunches, tutoring, and communications support.
