Specifically, preschool teachers newly recruited from the 2025-2026 school year, in accordance with the law, will be responsible for universal preschool education for children aged 3 to 5 years old, commit to working at the public preschool they are recruited for at least 5 years, and will receive a minimum support allowance equivalent to one year's basic salary or an equivalent amount when salary policies change.
