國教三種調

12年國教明年實施,但光是排富與否,不僅家長團體間支持、反對意見分歧,連中央、地方也不同調。

來自全台各地的全家盟家長代表,齊聚教育部門口高喊口號,支持十二年國教如期上路,但另一邊十二年國教家長聯盟卻堅持暫緩。

[[十二年國教家長聯盟 周美里]]
我們當然希望最好是暫緩實施,但是如果政府執意要推動,那我要拜託政府,有爭議的千萬不要動,沒有爭議的先上路。

教育部推動十二年國教「免學費、不排富」的主張,不但家長團體意見分歧,且因為此作法造成地方經費負擔,六都首長也紛紛反對。

十二年國教一直沒有達到各方的共識,周五行政院長江宜樺,將到立院作十二年國教專案報告,期望屆時入學制度、免學費問題可以順利拍板定案。

 

Opinions mixed on 12-year compulsory education (2013/06/11)

Parents gathered outside the Ministry of Education on Tuesday, some to express support for implementing 12-year compulsory education next year and others to express opposition. Their diverging views don’t end there. The government is leaning toward offering tuition-free schooling for all, regardless of wealth, but some parents feel it’s only fair if children of the wealthy pay more. 

Members of the National Alliance of Parents Organizations gathered in Taipei outside the Ministry of Education to show their support for the government’s plan to implement 12-year compulsory education next year. Opposite them another parents organization insisted the program should be delayed.

Chou Mei-li 
Parents Association Member 
We certainly believe it’s best to suspend implementation. But if the government insists, then I beg it to halt the parts of the program that are controversial and only implement pieces that haven’t sparked controversy.

戴勝益借錢

王品集團董事長戴勝益,之前到大學演講勉勵新鮮人,"月收入沒5萬,不要儲蓄","如果錢不夠,還可以向爸媽借兩萬",引發爭議,今天戴勝益做出澄清,表示他只是要強調人脈重要性。

王品董事長戴勝益今天從副總統吳敦義手中,接過服務業金牌獎。但外界仍關心他日前語出驚人說,「畢業三年以內的新鮮人,如果月薪不到5萬,不要儲蓄,甚至可以伸手跟爸媽借」一話。

戴勝益澄清,並以自身為例,表示當初創業身無分文的他,就是因為有許多朋友的借錢幫忙,才有現在的王品。

[[王品董事長 戴勝益]]
“出社會以後我就是家族企業,我是領四萬塊沒有存,因為我跟很多朋友都一些 交往人際關係,或者說一些必須的。在我創業的時候,我就自己深深感覺到,幸虧當初我跟這麼多朋友互動”

但如果新鮮人三年後,月薪還是不到5萬怎麼辦?

[[王品董事長 戴勝益]]
“那就是自己能力有問題,我是認為社會給每個人都是有一個時間”

面對媒體好奇,自家員工也不是每個都有月薪5萬時,戴勝益說這得視家庭狀況而定。

 

Wowprime chairman explains motivation behind controversial comments (2013/06/11)

Wowprime Chairman Steve Day delivered a memorable quote in a commencement speech last week, suggesting that young adults spend and not save if they earn under NT$50,000 a month. On Tuesday the respected restaurant tycoon gave further insight into his meaning. Day says he was trying to express the importance of building professional and social networks. 

Steve Day rubbed shoulders with Vice President Wu Den-yih on Tuesday when receiving a gold medal for service. After the ceremony, however, attention was focused on Day’s surprising comments. Day said, quote: “New workers who graduated in the last three years and have a monthly salary of under NT$50,000 shouldn’t save money. You should even feel free to ask your parents for loans.”

Day says he was thinking back to his own experiences. He had little money when starting and had to rely on funding from friends to turn Wowprime into the behemoth it is today.

張忠謀時事

晶圓代工業龍頭台積電今天舉辦股東會,董事長張忠謀宣布去年營收和獲利雙雙創下歷史新高。不過對於台灣下半年經濟情勢,他保守認為最近還看不到轉機。此外,雖然他不願意談核電議題,但是張忠謀以前總統李登輝說過的話為例,敬佩他對保證用電穩定的魄力。

台電董事長張忠謀在股東會上,除了談到對台積電的展望外,也提到有關台灣目前的現況。讓他憂心的是台灣經濟還看不到轉機,除非有日本首相安倍一樣的魄力。

[[台積電董事長 張忠謀]]
“台灣的潛力, 應該是一年(經成長)5%,最近的未來,我還看不到什麼轉機,日本的安倍很大膽的宣布他三個箭,除非有這種轉機,否則台灣的發展還是在這個潛力之下”

談到核四,張忠謀不評論政治性問題,但講到用電,他很佩服前總統李登輝。

[[台積電董事長 張忠謀]]
“那時候跟李總統講這個(跳電問題) ,李總統拍了一下桌子,政府假如是還不能夠供應給你可靠的電源,那我們這個政府要來幹什麼,非常敬佩他的態度”

至於證所稅修正案,把企業最低賦稅從10%調高到12。張忠謀表示,台積電試圖反映過有關「把與證券收入無關的稅率,夾帶在證所稅法案裡頭」一事給政府,但結果仍是沒有用處。

TSMC chairman urges the government to take action to boost the economy (2013/06/11)

At an annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday TSMC Chairman Morris Chang predicted record high sales and net profits this year. Besides discussing his company’s prospects Chang diverged into national issues, urging more action from the government on the economy and offering an anecdote that seemed to endorse the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant.

Morris Chang has more on his mind than business at TSMC. On Tuesday the chip-making executive discussed Taiwan’s current state, expressing dismay over the nation’s economy. Chang feels that someone needs to come along to shake things up.

Morris Chang
TSMC Chairman
Taiwan has the potential to grow 5 percent annually, but I don’t see the opportunity for a transformation in the near future. Japan’s Abe boldly stated his three arrows policy. If this kind of transformation doesn’t occur in Taiwan, its growth will never reach its potential.
