Mayor Ko Wen-je attended the Taipei CooC Cloud press conference at Zhonglun High School on August 15.
During his speech, the mayor expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Education and teachers. Their support ensured that this project can be realized, making it an important step forward for Taiwan’s education.
Citing the 3,000-plus videos in the database, Ko stressed that the materials are the results of teachers sacrificing their own time. He admitted that he wasn’t able to reward these teachers for their effort. However, their contributions ensure that the education materials on CooC Cloud are available for students in Taipei and the rest of the island – even expat schools abroad.
The mayor noted that CooC Cloud is also a realization of his political vision. When the common wisdom is all men are created equal, it is an ideal that has yet to be realized in human society. Given the reality of the world, politics should do its best to leave the disadvantaged a chance for climbing upwards. He believes that these should be the equality of medical care and education.
According to Ko, CooC Cloud takes advantage of Taipei’s resources to create a series of films covering materials from 24 subjects spanning elementary school through high school. By placing them online, everyone will have access to these materials, thereby realizing a limited form of equal opportunity in education.
