42. The NHRC commented that the Physically and Mentally Disabled Citizens Protection Act amended on April 23, 1997 (now the PDRPA) stipulated that the competent authorities of schools at all levels shall provide accessible campus environments to allow persons with disabilities to enjoy equal educational opportunities. Since then, more than 20 years have passed. Amendments to the SEA on January 23, 2013 also required schools to provide accessible campus environments. Although the MOE had promulgated the Guidelines for Subsidies Granted by the Ministry of Education to Special Municipality/County/City Governments to Provide Education to Students with Disabilities; Guidelines for Subsidies Granted by the K-12 Education Administration, Ministry of Education to Improve the Accessibility of Campus Environments; and Guidelines for Subsidies Granted by the Ministry of Education to Colleges and Universities to Improve the Accessibility of Campus Environments to help local governments and schools improve their campuses, the subsidies and resources offered are limited and lack effective mechanisms for monitoring project schedules. Thus, little progress has been made and the improved accessible facilities sometimes still fail to meet current laws and regulations. To date, the goal of constructing accessible campus environments in all schools remains unfulfilled. B. Transportation and roads 43. The CRPD Second Report shows that there has been an overall increase in the total number of rehabilitation buses and people served, and that service coverage has grown from 5.52% in 2016 to 10.48% in 2019. However, after reviewing the data provided by the relevant central authorities, the NHRC feels it necessary to raise the following issues: (1) The number of drivers is less than the number of vehicles. In certain counties and cities, the gap in the ratio of vehicles to manpower allocation is facility-related indicators as part of their institution assessment indicators. By contrast, child and youth placement and education institutions assess their accessible facilities based on the coaching and review results announced by the competent authority. The “Regulations on Accessible Facilities” (improvement recognition principles replaced or completed improvement in approved replacement project) is merely one of the items reviewed in “Buildings, Facilities, and Equipment.” In “Buildings, Facilities, and Equipment,” which is assessed annually, a score of “0” is given only if the average faults in Items 1 and 2 equal to five or more. 34
