The article on the CNA website says “教育學習業” are going to be included in this bailout. Does that include foreign cram school teachers?

Many local governments provide 勞工失業及其子女就學補助 Education Subsidies for the Child of Unemployed Labors.
If the eligibility is the same with MOL, foreign spouses of citizens are included.

It seems to be for schools, not directly for individual teachers.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.
The school will be able to apply for aid on the foreign teachers behalf?
I read something in one of those articles that the government will provide something like 20% of the workers salary up to 20k per month for the months of May and June.
Is that what this is in regards to?

I am not sure yet.
As for the support for company paying salary, foreigners were not included last time.
Q36 非本國籍勞工、建教生可以列入補貼的員工人數嗎?
一、政府政策為照顧本國籍勞工，外籍勞工不可列入補貼人數。

This could decimate the Buxiban industry. If lots of teachers aren’t getting paid for any period of time, if they don’t have any resources they will have no choice but to leave.
Then, there will be no teachers left. Not to be total jerk, but when this is all over would be a good time to come to Taiwan looking for a teaching job …
Note to self: Always have 3-6 months in expenses in emergency fund.
