Foreign passport = child can enter as foreigner (fixed quota).
[quote]The Ministry of Education announced Aug. 17 a series of amendments to admissions regulations designed to bring in more foreign students to Taiwan’s schools.
The amendments, set to take effect in February 2011, include relaxing the definition of a foreign student, allowing schools at all levels to use foreign students to complete unfilled admissions quotas for local students, and simplifying application procedures.
All students holding foreign passports, even if one of their parents is an ROC citizen, will now be eligible as foreign students, thus providing a broader definition and increasing the potential pool of applicants.
“With this looser definition, the number of foreign students is expected to increase by 8 percent, or 600 individuals, in the 2011 academic year, ” the MOE said.

What a crap excuse for an article. It somehow managed to miss the main point of the announcement, which is that fees for foreign students will rise. In the future fees for foreign students at public universities cannot be set below those of private universities (although this will not apply to existing students).
