China News Service, February 20 (Xinhua) According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network", Taiwan's administrative department stated in the written "policy address" proposed by Taiwan's legislative body that it will train non-governmental organizations, including schools, to establish emergency response teams. Taiwan's education department stated that the school's emergency response team is mainly composed of faculty and staff, with student leaders from high school and above participating. In the event of a disaster, the school can help itself and save itself. But parents question, do emergency response teams also need to respond to war? The Taiwan authorities should make it clear.

According to reports, the "Policy Address" of Chen Jianren, the head of Taiwan's administrative department, was delivered to Taiwan's legislative body on the 19th. According to the written report, in order to "verify the effectiveness of the people's total support for military operations," in July last year, "Tongxin 33 and Ziqiang 39 "Exercise No. 39" is coordinated with "Exercise Han Kuang No. 39" and is implemented in divisions throughout Taiwan. Manpower mobilization is based on the principle of "mobilization on the ground and application on the ground". It has verified 33 units and more than 12,000 reserve soldiers, an increase from 2022. 15 units, more than 6,000 people, and 25 female retired officers and soldiers volunteered to participate in the training camp. At the same time, ministries and local governments have been continuously convened to study the mobilization preparation plan, classification and implementation plan for the next year. As of the end of December 2023, 13 inter-ministerial coordination meetings have been held, with more than 5,000 people working together, and all ministries are well prepared. .
Wu Linhui, Director of Academic Affairs of the Taiwan Education Department, said that when a disaster occurs, schools must help themselves and save themselves. At the same time, the campus may become a shelter for disaster victims. At this time, the school's emergency response team can play its role. He said that in addition to faculty and staff, the emergency response teams of high school and above schools will also be joined by student leaders. When a disaster occurs, they can put what they have learned to use.
As for the emergency response teams of junior high schools and primary schools, Wu Linhui said that no students will participate because they are still young and are protected targets.
In this regard, Wang Hanyang, chairman of Taiwan's "State Education Action Alliance", pointed out that in March last year, it was reported that the Taiwan authorities required schools to establish emergency response teams, and the Taiwan education department compiled student information and gave it to the Taiwan defense department. Later, the outside world questioned whether it was for this purpose. It was done in response to the war, but in the end it was postponed.
Wang Hanyang said that now that the school has been asked to form an emergency response team again, does it also have to respond to the war? The authorities should make it clear.
Relevant reports triggered heated discussions on the island, and many netizens criticized the DPP authorities: "Isn't (students going to the battlefield) an inevitable outcome of the election?" "(DPP) will dare to do anything after the election!" "There is no doubt that it is the second reserve team" and "worrying about the next four years."
