Questions to Ponder
1. Do you think that the intentions of the Governor-Generals in establishing new schools changed over the period of Japanese occupation?
2. What does the preservation of the Taiwanese Presidential Office Building imply about the attitude of the Taiwanese towards Japanese occupation? To what extent was this attitude fostered by education?
