The MOE expects that this special exhibition can promote the professional development of all of Taiwan’s senior high school, junior high school and elementary school teachers, as well as to strengthen the schools’ natural science curricula, in particular in the environmental education area.

The theme of this special exhibition is science, civilization and the future of the water which integrates environmental education, science education, humanities education and art education.
