Aboriginal Education Program

There is a saying that goes: “It takes a hundred years to educate a generation of good men and women.” No one would argue against the vital nature and long-lasting importance of education. However, only through the long-term and systematic allocation of resources will the fruits of education thrive. In addition to sparing no effort in the cultivation of high-level research talent, MediaTek can also cite the success of its management experience in the focused and systematic allocation of resources in the primary schools of aboriginal villages. By drafting short-, mid- and long-term plans to upgrade the facilities of these schools and rates of enrollment in higher levels of education, a solid foundational education is cultivated, thereby bringing hope to the children of these aboriginal villages.
