Why r the university school years measure in Taiwan different from the current year and what is the most current academic year according to the measure they use They use numbers like 106, 107, 108 instead of "2018-2019" for example and it's confusing me?
I was reviewing universities in that country and I don't understand when they use numbers like "106", "107" "108" and so on as the academic year instead of using "2019-2020" for example. Does anyone know why the academic years are identified in this way?
In the end, I was able to find the answer in another page, so I share it with you:
In Taiwan, "academic year" refers to two semesters starting in September of the current year and ending in June of the following year, which is called an academic year.
The upper and lower semesters of the same academic year are separated by winter breaks, including the Lunar New Year.
The period between the school year and the next school year is the summer vacation.
The "103 academic year" specifically referred to in the title refers to the academic year that began in September 2013 and ended in June 2014.
That is, the school year that began in September 2014 and ended in June 2015.
Also, the conversion method between the Republic Of China* and the Western era: the Republic Of China + 1911 = the first year of the Western era.
Example: 67 years of the Republic of China = 1978 a.C. (67+1911), 103 years of the Republic of China = 2014 a.C. (103+1911)
In contrast, 1992 a.C. = 81 years of the Republic of China (1992-1911), 2013 a.C. = 102 years of the Republic of China (2013-1911).
The year of the 1911 Revolution/Wuchang Uprising was in 1911, the year of Xinhai, the year before the Republic of China.
- The Republic of China is Taiwan, an island, for who doesn't know it. The continental China is The Popular Republic of China
