Abstract
With the conviction that the stories of educational entrepreneurs have something to offer to the private sector in the current era of promoting humanity, this book shares 12 cases of educational innovation in Taiwan. In addition to personal effort, these educational entrepreneurs would not have been able to become what they are today, were it not for a facilitating environment, including matching policies and resources support.
