Taiwan legislator Xu Xin‑ying first outlined a broad set of education and childcare improvements in mid‑July, proposing expanded early‑childhood services, new public childcare slots, tablet provision for students and measures to support child health and special‑education needs. A week later, as a KMT mayoral candidate for Hsinchu County, she detailed a tighter package of five reforms aimed at cutting the administrative load on kindergarten teachers.
