Abstract | Taiwan's central government launched the 2030 Bilingual National Policy in 2018 to develop Taiwan into a Mandarin-English bilingual nation by 2030. It is anticipated that the chain of talent development--education, selection, training, and utilization--should interlock with each other to effectively reach the goal. Being in charge of national examinations, mainly selecting civil servants by conducting Civil Service Examinations (CSEs) and certifying professional and technical personnel by Professional and Technical Examinations (PTEs), the Ministry of Examination (MOEX) is striving to implement the following four measures to meet the policy: (1) Increasing the score share of the English subject in CSEs' general subjects, (2) Adding an English test as an eligibility requirement for taking some CSEs and PTEs, (3) Adding a professional English test in some CSEs and PTEs, and (4) Adding a CSE branch--Consular: English II--for the prospective consular personnel to take a tested-in-English examination. However, these measures are confronted with the main challenge that many stakeholders argue that English is not sufficiently important to be included in or to increase the English component in the CSEs or PTEs for their fields. To resolve the main challenge, it is necessary to not only strengthen communication and advocacy, but also to effectively cultivate English proficiency for all from the education side.
