The 70th anniversary of Far Eastern Group adheres to the original intention of "taking from the society and giving back to the society". On January 13, at the opening ceremony of the "New Taipei City Science and technology learning support and teaching center" jointly established by the New Taipei Municipal Government and the "Junyi Academy", Far Eastern Group donated 300 tablets and system upgrading funds to promote Taiwan's education. The 300 tablets sponsored by Far Eastern Group are the most important teaching equipment of the first science and technology teacher training center, and also make Far Eastern Group a major sponsor in the early stage of the center's establishment. Therefore, Vice Mayor Xie Zhengda of New Taipei Municipal Government attended the opening ceremony of the center, and sent a certificate to FEG to express the gratitude to the original intention of Far Eastern Group for its feedback.
In the public welfare walking activity "70th anniversary is full of love, everyone HAPPY GO", 5 billion steps (about 70 circles around the earth) were attempted to be raised from the public during one month on October in 2019. And the accumulated total steps would be converted into 7 million HAPPY GO points of Far Eastern Group and be donated to "Junyi Academy". Finally, one month's public welfare campaign was widely supported by the public, with a total of 6.5 billion steps, which not only far exceeded the original goal, but also made FEG feel the passion of loving health and working together for public welfare of the public. In order to give back to Taiwan, Far Eastern Group generously donated 300 tablets and system upgrading funds, fully supporting the cultivation of teachers.
On behalf of Far Eastern Group, the Pacific SOGO Department store Chairman Sophia C.W. Huang, who attended the opening ceremony of New Taipei City Science and technology learning support and teaching center, pointed out that the public welfare walking activity "70th anniversary is full of love, everyone HAPPY GO" received warm response from the public because of the appeal of the artists and KOL on the Internet and finally 6.5 billion steps were accumulated, letting Far Eastern Group be willing to donate, which made the most creative and dynamic Junyi Academy in Taiwan can work with local governments to effectively improve the gap between urban and rural areas through science and technology, and simultaneously lead Taiwan's education reform with the sponsorship of FEG. Far Eastern Group is very pleased to see the opening of the science and technology teacher training center, hoping to reverse the current situation of education in Taiwan under the cooperation of enterprises, NPO and the government.
Affiliated enterprises of Far Eastern Group have also continued to promote digital education. Far EasTone Telecommunication has commissioned scholars in the field of environmental education and digital technology to develop nearly 2000 question banks of "environmental education" and " big data + AI + IOT" since 2017, and established “FET question bank” on the learning platform PaGamO which was developed by the team of the Department of electrical engineering of National Taiwan University led by Professor Ye Bingcheng. The platform enables students to easily absorb the knowledge of environmental education, big data, artificial intelligence and Internet of things (IOT) through games.
Yuan Ze University has encouraged students to form volunteer groups for four consecutive years and received professional training, and to hold digital camps in rural primary schools in winter and summer holidays.
