No they couldn't. This goes on all the time, silently, at K-12 schools in the US in poorer areas, nobody cares, nobody does anything. You think Taiwan is any different than us? They're ahead of us, and if they're fucking this up, we're doing it ten-fold. The irony is, we spend billions on a contract for the government cloud (the one that Trump famously tried to yoink from Microsoft (who won the bid fair and square) and give to his buddies at Amazon), yet we don't mandate education use at as well, only for the military. |

Well, I'm a resident of Taiwan and while I think there are many wonderful things about the country, IT is not one of them and not sure how you came to the conclusion that Taiwan is "ahead of us" (assuming you're American or European).
Everything related to tech here feels like it's from the late 1990s. Web applications here generally have horrible UIs and are buggy, sometimes to the point of being basically unusable.
It's not just the front end either. See: all of the problems caused by a change to the ARC (alien resident certificate) ID numbers.

This change was itself caused by problems created by the existing/old system.
