outside camps, general prisons follow a 10-point scoring system, and they have stricter requirements for the beginning and accruing credits for good behavior, a system which varies across prisons. Therefore, most of the inmates in general prisons would only qualify for sentence mitigation at a later stage of their imprisonment. As a result, the difference in the actual sentence mitigation applicable to the two types of prisoner can be huge. Such an imbalance in the sentence mitigation mechanisms applicable to the two types of prisoner should be remedied, to avoid deviation from the goal of substantial equality. 14. Article 29 of the Special Education Act stipulates that the Ministry of Education, may arrange for college or unversity admissions for students with disabilities by assigning additional quotas each year, aside from the general admission process, Colleges or universities would then decide on approving additional admission quotas and the types of students with disabilities they would accept, and define related requirements at their sole discretion. Since its implementation, however, issues such as insufficient departments/institutes recruiting students and uneven admission quotas, high uncertainty in admission quotas offered by each department/institute each year, flawed difficulty discrimination indices in examination questions, and insufficient examination rooms have emerged, and created inequality among students who fall under different disability categories. The Ministry of Education is advised to review the necessity for the system of categorizing disabilities, as well as the problem of uneven recruiting by departments/institutes and admission quotas. Article 6 The Right to Life Death Penalty 15. Points 58 and 59 of the Concluding Observations and Recommendations adopted by the International Review Committee for the Review of the Second Report, dated January 20, 2017, mention that Despite the fact that international law is increasingly recognizing the death penalty as contrary to the rights of human dignity, the number of executions has remained roughly the same in recent years and the Government continues to justify its rigid attitude with opinion polls, allegedly proving that a large majority of the population remains in favor of the death penalty. The Review Committee urges the current Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and President Tsai Ing-wen to take the lead in raising public awareness against this cruel and inhuman punishment, rather than being exclusively concerned with public opinion. To this end, the Committee strongly recommends that the Government take decisive steps by immediately introducing a moratorium on executions with the aim of a full abolition of the death penalty in the near future. 10
