Starting this year, foreign students applying for scholarships from the 
government will be tested on their Mandarin proficiency, in an exam similar to 
the TOEFL taken by Taiwanese students wishing to study in an English-speaking 
country.

The Ministry of Education hopes to begin test runs of the examination no later 
than June and officially start the program next year. Details will be made 
available today.
