So as to encourage more children to play Go, at the end of January 2008 the Ministry of Education held its first national Go competition for schools of all levels. The top three placers at each level would qualify for the athlete's bonus, receiving an extra 5-10 % added to their scores when they applied to high school or university.
為了鼓勵更多孩子接觸圍棋，2008 年一月底，教育部將首度舉行「全國各級學校圍棋錦標賽」，選手若贏得「段位甲組」優勝的前 3 名，可比照「運動資優生」的加分獎勵，未來在高中或大學甄試入學時，學科成績將可加分 5 % 至 10 %。
