CSU Honored by MOE as a Featured School for Special Education: Building a Diverse, Inclusive, and Caring Campus

Cheng Shiu University (CSU) has been recognized by the Ministry of Education (MOE) under the “2025 Special Education Service Recognition Program – Featured School”, highlighting the university’s long-term commitment to inclusive education.

For years, CSU has dedicated itself to creating a diverse and friendly campus environment—not only by providing comprehensive professional support services, but also by fostering cross-departmental collaboration and active student participation. These efforts help students with disabilities pursue their studies with confidence and courage.

Innovative Programs Empowering Students

In recent years, CSU’s Special Education Resource Center has launched a number of innovative initiatives, including the “Dream-Building Social Service” program and the “Dream Lab Workshop”, which encourage students to step outside their comfort zones. By serving others, students are able to build self-worth and discover new strengths.

The university noted: “Witnessing students transform from fear to confidence is the most moving moment for us.” Beyond academic and resource support, CSU places equal importance on emotional care and personal growth.

Recognizing Dedication and Care

Special Education Counselor Ying-Chuan Hung received the MOE Outstanding Special Education Personnel Award for her years of dedication in supporting students through learning anxiety and life challenges. She shared: “Each time I accompany a student out of a low point, I am also healed and inspired by their perseverance.” Her commitment embodies the true value and meaning of special education.

Leadership Commitment to Inclusive Education

CSU President Jui-Chang Kung emphasized that this recognition as a “Featured School” is the result of collective efforts from the entire university community. He affirmed that CSU will continue advancing inclusive education and work with society at large to create a campus “where every student can be seen and understood.”

Director of the Special Education Resource Center Ping-Wei Wu further explained that the team operates on five core principles to build a strong support network: empathetic care, peer support communities, tailored vocational training, transformative social service, and holistic empowerment. He expressed hope that every special education student can discover self-worth and live a life that shines brightly.
