In light of the government's gradual opening of mainland academic credential recognition, the newly appointed Deputy Minister of the Examination Yuan, Dong Baocheng, stated that the national examination system will inevitably undergo significant reforms. In the future, Taiwanese citizens holding recognized mainland university degrees will face no restrictions when participating in national examinations, and the participation of mainland citizens in Taiwan's national examinations will also be further relaxed.
Dong Baocheng mentioned that although the principle of civil service examinations is "examination and employment integration," since mainland academic credentials can now be recognized, there is no reason not to relax the examination eligibility for mainland citizens with recognized diplomas. However, due to the Cross-Strait People Relations Act, which requires a minimum of ten years of residency in Taiwan to serve as public or educational personnel, even if they pass the exam, they must comply with the regulations of the Cross-Strait Relations Act to be employed in such roles, potentially resulting in "passing the exam but not being employed."
Regarding professional certifications, Dong Baocheng leans toward allowing individuals with recognized diplomas from accredited institutions to participate in certification exams. However, for special certifications such as lawyers, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, or accountants, certain verification procedures should still be in place before granting examination eligibility.
Dong Baocheng emphasized that even if mainland citizens can take exams in Taiwan and successfully obtain certifications, they must still comply with other legal regulations, such as joining professional associations, to practice.
Regarding Taiwanese citizens obtaining academic credentials in mainland China, Dong Baocheng believes there should be no issues. Since mainland academic credentials are now recognized and the individuals are Taiwanese citizens, they should naturally be able to participate in national examinations to qualify for civil service positions or obtain professional certifications.
Dong Baocheng gave an example: when he was a professor at National Chengchi University, some students obtained master's or doctoral degrees from Peking University or China University of Political Science and Law, but their credentials were not recognized upon returning to Taiwan, preventing them from participating in national exams. However, once the academic credentials from Peking University or China University of Political Science and Law are recognized, these students should naturally qualify for the exams.
