Ten years ago, despite the effort it took to enroll in my dream high school, I struggled with the rote learning and exam-focused education system. Skipping classes became routine.
After nearly two years studying in France, I discovered a classroom environment where critical thinking and open discussions flourished. Inspired, in 2018, I co-founded Lead For Taiwan with a friend, aiming to challenge Taiwan's education system. We strive to empower students with critical thinking skills and encourage them to explore societal issues beyond textbooks.
Today, Lead For Taiwan operates formal courses in over 30 schools across Taiwan, engaging more than 3,000 students annually.
