Taipei Dacheng High School, located in Wenshan District of Taipei, with over 50 years of establishment, has decided to stop enrollment due to declining birthrates and the government's encouragement of private schools to transition policies. The school principal confirmed that the school will stop enrolling students earliest in the 114th academic year, with the specific timeline to be determined, while still admitting students for the 113th academic year. Facing the trend of declining birthrates, private Taipei Dacheng High School announces the halt of enrollment. The school will continue operating until the current students graduate, and is considering transitioning into a social welfare institution such as elderly care, though specific plans are yet to be finalized. This decision is part of a broader trend in Taiwan where many private high schools are struggling with enrollment and facing closure due to low birthrates, with 13 private high schools across the country being included in a special counseling program. These schools have been granted permission to stop enrollment, with ongoing efforts to either recruit again or shift to alternative management methods.
