To ensure that there are sufficient indigenous education teachers, the central competent education authority shall coordinate with each university that offers teacher training programs (hereunder referred to as “teacher education university”) and have them reserve a quota of places for indigenous students and it may provide government funded places for indigenous students or set up special teacher training programs for them, based on the requirements of the central competent education authority and of local governments for indigenous education teachers and teachers of indigenous languages.After the government funded indigenous students referred to in the preceding paragraph obtain a Teacher’s Certificate, the central competent education authority or a local government shall assign them to schools to work. The school to which a person is assigned shall have language needs that are consistent with the person’s indigenous language expertise.Indigenous students who participate in a teacher education university’s publicly announced procedure to be admitted as government funded students or in a teacher education university’s internal selection of students it will fund shall have obtained an indigenous language proficiency certificate at intermediate level or above. Before graduating, the government funded indigenous students shall have obtained an indigenous language proficiency certificate at high-intermediate level or above.
