Academics protest absence of historians in curriculum guideline revisions (2014/03/09)

More than 120 historians came together to sign a petition delivered to the Ministry of Education. The petition requested more transparency in revising curriculum guidelines as they allege not a single Taiwanese historian was consulted regarding the new curriculum guidelines. 

Opposed to the Ministry of Education’s decision to revise curriculum guidelines for high school Chinese culture classes along with civics has led university professors to come together and express their joint dissatisfaction.

There are so many university history departments and graduate research institutes as well as those dedicated to Taiwan history, and not a single professor with qualifications was consulted about this change to the curriculum? They must have a philosophy or be pro-Beijing person to carry out such actions.

120 historians from institutions as diverse as Academia Sinica to history departments at various universities and Taiwan history research institutes have come together to sign a petition asking the Ministry of Education to withdraw revisions to curriculum guidelines.

Ministry of Education authorities should be willing to face history academics and withdraw these adjustments to the curriculum guidelines.

The Ministry of Education says a review team did included historians and slight revisions to the curriculum would enhance Taiwan’s subjectivity. Still, scholars who signed the petition refuse to accept this explanation. .

連署反課綱

國內有史以來,有超過120位歷史學者,聯合發表連署聲明,抗議教育部黑箱進行,課綱微調作業!學者認為,這一次檢核小組成員,沒有任何台灣史學者參與,是違背學術的專業性,他們要求教育部,撤回新課綱。

反對教育部,修改高中國文,及公民社會課綱,大學教授打破門派,集體站出來表達不滿。

[[北教大台文所教授 李筱峰]]
有這麼多的大學歷史系、歷史研究所、台灣史研究所等等,沒有一個教授有資格來擔任歷史課程的改變嗎?一定要找一個學哲學的、親北京的人,來進行這樣的動作嗎?

從中研院,到各大學歷史系、台灣史研究所,超過120位相關學者,聯合發表連署,創下紀錄,他們要求教育部撤回,微調後的新課綱。

[[政大台史所所長 薛化元]]
教育主管當局要正視,所謂歷史學術的專業性,撤回微調課綱。

教育部則強調,檢核小組成員,已經包含歷史學者,課綱微調,是提升台灣主體性,但參與連署的學者無法接受,爭議顯然還沒平息。
