Chen's survey on the tutoring of elementary school students reveals that the more remote the school, the greater the tutoring resources available to it. Poor, remote, and ethnically diverse Taitung County, for example, has only 16,000 students enrolled in its elementary schools, or just 1 % of Taiwan's total, but in 2006 accounted for 10 % of the MOE's spending on ASAP.
根據陳淑麗所做的「國小弱勢學生課業輔導現況調查」，發現越是偏遠地區學校，課輔資源竟越豐富，像地理位置、族群、經濟條件屬於「多重弱勢」的台東縣，國小學童數（一萬六千多人）僅佔全國總數的 1 %，但卻獨佔教育部投入經費的 10 %（民國 95 年）。
