Hsinchu World High School Not Yet Closed or Merged; Ministry of Education to Oversee Future Developments

Hsinchu World High School has ceased new student admissions for the upcoming 2025 academic year, the Ministry of Education confirmed on June 5. The school had previously received approval to halt new enrollments.

According to the ministry, all students who would have entered the second year of high school in the 2025 academic year have transferred to other schools. Senior students have already completed their studies and graduated from World High School. Consequently, there are currently no students enrolled at the institution, resolving immediate concerns about student welfare and educational continuity.

The ministry also addressed the rights of the school's faculty and staff. World High School had presented a transition plan during its application to stop admissions, pledging to respect staff wishes and assist with their transfer and placement. The Ministry of Education stated it will monitor the school's implementation of these procedures to ensure compliance and protect staff interests.

Under Taiwan's Private School Law, any plans for school closure, restructuring, or merger must be submitted for review and approval by the relevant authorities. As of now, the Ministry of Education has not received any applications from World High School's governing body for closure or merger with another institution. The ministry indicated it will continue to supervise the school and its associated foundation to ensure all future actions adhere to legal requirements.
