Finally, the educational system plays a very important role.��The educational purpose inherited the Confucian thought two thousand years ago, and its main view is that parents should kindly love their children and that children should show filial obedience for their parents.��Therefore, people can usually get along with their families very well. That is why Taiwanese teachers really emphasize Confucian thought before high school. �In Taiwan, every person must go to school from elementary school to middle school. Furthermore, except in rare cases, students must graduate from middle school.��If students graduate from middle school, they can study in a vocational school or a high school. There are very few students who stop going to school after middle school unless they want to work in menial labor. The students in the vocational school can transfer to universities if they feel that the knowledge in the vocational school is not enough. However, the students in the vocational school must pass each university's own exam to get into the university. On the other hand, if students go to high school, they only prepare for universities. They must study hard because they have to pass a national university exam to get into a university. In fact, this year only about 60% of the students who graduated from high school passed this exam.

The teachers of basic education in Taiwan not only teach the regular courses but also help parents teach students family education and manners, which is an aspect of Confucian thought. Furthermore, the teachers in Taiwan seriously emphasize morals and manners to the students at school before the students graduate from high school.��In addition, the teachers in Taiwan usually want the students to respect them at school and even away from school, so the teachers keep formal relationships with the students.��Moreover, the teachers in Taiwan often contact parents and make reports before high school, so teachers and parents sometimes become close friends.��In fact, most of the parents in Taiwan want their children to have good grades, so they often hire tutors to teach their children or send their children to "cram schools" after school.��Therefore, there are many kinds of "cram school" in Taiwan.��Some of them teach small children how to speak languages well.��Some of them teach elementary school students arts, and some prepare middle school students and high school students for the national exam.
