Compulsory Education Act Article 9

In cases of school-age nationals who are required to enroll in school but have not done so, or who have enrolled but dropout, or who have long-term absences, schools shall submit a report to the city, township, or district compulsory education committee to dispatch personnel for a home visit. The students shall be advised to enroll in a school or to resume attending school. The local municipal or county (city) government shall be notified of cases in which students discontinue education, are unable to enroll, or have had long-term absences because of financial concerns or family incidents, and shall in accordance with social welfare acts, or using specific relief strategies, provide assistance to resolve their difficulties.With the exception of those in the circumstance set out in Articles 12 and 13, and those who have had special grounds approved by a city, township, or district compulsory education committee, if the parents or guardians still refuse to enroll or resume school after persuasion, the school shall report to the township (town, city, or district) compulsory education committee to issue a written warning and set a time limit for enrollment or continued enrollment.Persons who fail to adhere to the warning and comply with the deadline for enrollment or continued enrollment shall be fined NT$ 100 or less by the city, township, or district offices, and shall be required to enroll or continue enrollment of their children or wards within a limited period.This penalty shall be continued until enrollment or continued enrollment is implemented.
