These issues may even result in more harm than good and potentially harm the educational rights of indigenous students. A Control Yuan investigation found that, in practice, the insufficient number of teaching staff and high teacher and student turnover in key schools hinder the effective implementation of the legal standards, resulting in an inability to meet the educational needs of students.117 The NHRC believes that the government should reconsider whether the current design of prioritizing the employment of teachers with indigenous identity is sufficient to achieve the initial objectives of the legislature.
