The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released an international report that ranked Taiwanese students highly in math and natural sciences. However, this performance comes at the same time as a noted rise in student mental health crises within Taiwan, with more students reporting experiences of stress and anxiety. On this episode of Zoom In Zoom Out, presenter Betty Chen sits down with Kate Hsu, the founder of Design for Change Taiwan (DFC Taiwan), a nonprofit organization that trains teachers to provide a hands-on learning experience. We first zoom out on Taiwan’s current state of education, then zoom in to look at how DFC’s projects can change student confidence for the better.
