Education Ministry-Funded Youth Overseas Program to Start Next Year
The Ministry of Education says a program designed to encourage young people
to participate in volunteering, internships, and other learning activities
overseas with government funding will begin receiving applications next year.
According to Deputy Education Minister Yeh Bing-cheng, the program is being
supported by the newly established Youth Overseas Dream Fund and aims to help
young people go abroad and "broaden their horizons."
Yeh says the government hopes to select around 550 young people in 2025 for
the program - which is open to Taiwan nationals aged between 15 to 30.
The deputy education minister is encouraging young people with "good ideas,"
regardless of their family's financial status, to apply.
Selected applicants (申請人) will receive grants of up to 2-million N-T for
their own proposals.
Projects currently being negotiated included student tours to the central
government agencies in France as well as to different Indigenous villages in
Canada.
UN Condemns Iran Nuclear Noncompliance
The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s board has condemned Iran for failing to
cooperate fully with the agency, the second time it has done so in just five
months.
The International Atomic Energy Agency also called on Tehran to provide
answers in a long-running investigation into uranium particles found at two
locations that Tehran has failed to declare as nuclear sites.
Diplomats say that 19 members of the IAEA board voted for the resolution,
while Russia, China and Burkina Faso opposed it, and 12 abstained and one did
not vote, according to diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity to
describe the outcome of the closed-doors vote.
The resolution comes on the heels of a confidential report earlier this week
in which the IAEA said Iran has defied international demands to rein in its
nuclear program and has increased its stockpile (儲存，逐步積累的東西) of
uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.

Canada PM Announces Tax Break
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to temporarily lift the federal
sales tax off a slew of items and send checks to millions of Canadians who
are dealing with rising costs as a federal election looms.
The measures come as an inflation-driven affordability (負擔能力) crunch
(困難) has left voters unhappy with the Trudeau government.
The federal goods and services tax break would begin Dec. 14 and end Feb. 15.
It will apply to a number of items including children’s clothing and shoes,
toys, diapers, restaurant meals and beer and wine.
