The establishment of Educational Fundamental Act is not only the appeal of the Non-Governmental Education Reform Action Coalition in 1994, but also the priority of Education Reform Consultative Report in 1996. According to the current law, the rank of law of Educational Fundamental Act is equal to other general laws. However, since legislators set it as a fundamental act, the subsequent legislation should respect its legal status to maintain the consistency and wholeness of educational law. Since established in 1999, Educational Fundamental Act has experienced five amendments of eight articles in response to social development. Among them, because the Constitution has the highest ranking, this places it and related Judicial Interpretation in the guiding position for Educational Fundamental Act and all other educational matters. Additionally, the education act in ICESCR and CRC, which obtained its status as a fundamental act based on Act to Implement the Covenant on Civil, can also help guide the future developments and reforms of Educational Fundamental Act. The conclusions of this study for current Educational Fundamental Act are as follows:
1. It should avoid being included in authority conferred by law to maintain its status as a fundamental act.
2. The connotations of educational goals should be consistent with the Constitution, but should not be too trivial or subject to frequent changes.
3. There should be clearer definitions for educationally disadvantaged groups.
4. Educational neutralism should be consistent with the multicultural conceptions in the Constitution to realize it concretely.
5. The goals and legal interests of private and experimental education should be clearer.
6. It should establish systems of teaching certificates and of evaluation to facilitate professional development.
7. Education authorities of central and local governments should be differentiated based on the conception of balancing the power in the Constitution.
8. The authority and organization of Education review board should be more effective.
9. Basic national education should be consistent with citizen’s education in Constitution.
10. It should be incorporated into the education provision in the international bill of human rights to ensure its status as a fundamental act.
