Minister of Education Se-Hwa Wu stated that the National High School Games offers an important platform for high school students nationwide to showcase the results of their hard work and training. Being able to participate in these Games is both an honor and recognition of their achievements. But sports is not just about developing individual skills, it's more about teamwork and cooperation. In addition to physical training and developing skills, it's even more important to embody the core values and spirit of sports ‒ fairness, respect, perseverance, overcoming adversity, and being humble in both victory and defeat. The Ministry of Education continues our commitment to promoting sports at all levels and encourages the public to cultivate regular exercise habits and a sports spirit early on in life. In the future, we will continue holding the National High School Games, advancing sports at all levels and promoting physical education in schools.

2016 International Sports Trailblazers Ready! Begin Domestic and Overseas Internships in May

This year (2016) the Sports Administration has commissioned the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) to organize the International Sports Affairs Training Course. The first phase of specialized coursework took place on April 24 at the Mellow Fields Hotel in Taipei. There were 130 trainees who successfully completed the first phase of this course and they will go on to participate in domestic and overseas internships.

Now in its sixth year, the first phase of the International Sports Affairs Training Course (ISATC) began on April 21 and lasted for 4 days. These specialized courses were conducted completely in English and an impressive lineup of well-respected figures in the international sports arena were invited as lecturers. The lecturers included Former President of Hungary Mr. Pal SCHMITT, NOC Rights Acquisition and Partnerships IOC TMS Ms. Nstascha Trittis, International Olympic Academy Director Prof. Dionyssis GANGAS, Cruising Yacht Club Australia CEO Ms. Karen GREGA, and Education and Universities Manager of National Associations Development (UEFA) Mr. Thomas JUNOD. The focus of this course is to enhance trainees capacity to moderate meetings, serve as master of ceremonies, and strengthen negotiation and communication skills so they can provide assistance to our nation's sports associations in hosting international sports events and attend important international conferences. This will enable our nation to keep in stride with the international sports community and establish interactive relationships that foster greater collaboration.

The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) points out that this program has already trained over 390 professionals. This year we have seen a major upgrade in talent level of trainees participating in this program with more professionals having inter-disciplinary backgrounds and skills. On April 24 trainees formed groups and gave oral presentations on an "international sports organization reveals doping scandal involving medal-winning athletes" roleplay simulation. Foreign lecturers were impressed by the trainees professional performances and earned unanimous approval from the evaluation committee for their ability to spontaneously interact and clearly express themselves in the English language courses. Starting in May, the 130 trainees who passed the first phase of the training course will continue receiving practical training on holding international competitions in Taiwan.

Sports Administration Director-General Jow-Fei Ho explained during his lecture presentation that the world of sports diplomacy is always changing. Keeping in pace with the international community and increasing our nation's influence in the international sports arena requires more than outstanding coaches and athletes, international sports affairs professionals also play a vital role. Director-General Ho expects trainees to have an in-depth understanding of the international sports environment and operations, the ability to strengthen international exchanges, and a global vision of the international sports arena. These assets and skills will help our nation secure more bids to host international competitions and bolster the capacity of our 2017 Taipei Universiade and 2019 East Asian Youth Games volunteer staff.

On 17 March 2016 the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) announced the latest 2015 world baseball rankings and for the first time the Chinese Taipei team jumped up to 3rd place.

Currently, Japan is ranked 1st with a total of 5154 points and the U.S. is ranked 2nd but close behind with 5091 points. Chinese Taipei has recently won the championship at both the 2014 U21 Baseball World Cup and the 2015 Gwangju Universiade, and finished runner-up at the Asian Baseball Championship. These superb performances combined with the fact that Cuba hasn't performed well in international competition recently has enabled our nation's team to at last secure the 3rd place ranking after so many years of being ranked behind Cuba.

2016 Exercise Enterprise Certification Giving Employees Gift of Health

On April 12 the Sports Administration held the Exercise Enterprise Certification Launch Press Release and Introduction to promote the Exercise Enterprise Certification Mark. The goal of this initiative is to encourage companies to play an active role in promoting employee regular exercising habits. By doing so enterprises will realize their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and together support the development of the sports industry. Placing impetus on fostering healthy human resources improves brand value and positively impacts corporate image.

Last year the Sports Administration launched the Exercise Enterprise Certification Mark and introduced this program to 15 of the nation's largest corporations such as Acer Group, Regent Taipei, Dragon Steel, Wang Group, CyberLink Corp., and Chinatrust Financial Holding Co., Ltd. We even filmed an "Enterprises Approval Certification Promo" highlighting testimonials about the overwhelmingly resounding benefits exercise programs have brought to their companies. Last year was a promotional "trial year" and this year the Exercise Enterprise Certification Mark program will be officially implemented giving all enterprises the opportunity to get on board and become an exercise enterprise.

All it takes for companies to use this "Mark" for promoting a company's image is to receive Sports Administration, Ministry of Education, Exercise Enterprise Certification Mark approval. This "Mark" can be used on the company's website, business card, and promotional materials to boost corporate image and employee recruitment. The Sports Administration will also hold an awards and recognition ceremony with video and media coverage to expand corporate recognition. The best part about it is that enterprises receiving certification approval will have priority invitation to all sporting events and activities organized by the Sports Administration and enjoy Exercise Enterprise VIP benefits. All of these advantages await corporations once they have received Exercise Enterprise Certification Mark approval. We welcome all enterprises to jump on this opportunity to tangibly increase your quality image and enjoy the intangible benefit of enhanced morale.

Enjoying Sports and Loving Taiwan iSports Plan Launch Press Release

The 6-year Sports Island Establishment Plan completed its final phases and its mission has concluded. During its implementation it proved successful in getting more of the population involved in exercise and invigorated the sports atmosphere. In efforts to continue propelling the popularity of sports throughout the public and advancing the development of effective policies, this year (2016) the Sports Administration began promoting a comprehensive iSport Mid-range Plan. We intend to continue building upon the foundations of the Sports Island Establishment Plan and through the implementation of various policies motivate the public to take the initiative, experience the joy, and enthusiastically participate in sports and exercise activities.

The iSport Mid-range Plan is a 6-year plan extending from 2016-2021 with its vision of "initiative, enjoyment, and enthusiasm for sports." "Initiative" is aimed at encouraging spontaneity and independence in cultivating regular exercise habits; "enjoyment" is aimed at integrating livelihood and culture in developing unique sports and exercise features of each locality; and "enthusiasm" is aimed at cultivating the public's interest in exercise and sports, encouraging a transformational process from exercising for health into exercising for the fun of it!

The 2015 Sports City Survey results show that the nation's sports population exceeds 80% and the regularly exercising population has increased from 24.4% in 2009 up to 33.4% by 2015. This data clearly indicates Taiwan's Sport for All has taken flight and we are steadily advancing towards the goal of becoming a "Sports Island." As the regularly exercising population percentage continues increasing annually the Sports Administration hopes that the iSport Mid-range Plan will prompt the public to consider ways of connecting exercise and sports activities with their local environment and get involved in exercise and sports activities that increase quality of life and make life more fulfilling. Participation in exercise and sports activities enlivens people with the confidence to embrace life and realize their dreams. We encourage people to broaden your perspectives and take another look at what sports has to offer ‒ you'll loveit!
