Most governments, local organizations, tourism agents, and scholars have extensively promoted ecotourism in recent years. However, government policies have been ignored, public opinion has not been updated, the local tourism infrastructure is incomplete, and operational practices have been poor for a long time. This is because ecotourism has not made any empirical profits, and additionally, it has even incurred more practical costs, which have encouraged few tourism agents to execute and operate ecotourism correctly. The contributive findings of this study are the following: (1) Beyond the evaluated measurements of quantitative and qualitative analyses, the sustainable development of ecotourism essentially creates benefits for the local industry and the environment, and actively assists the industry in improving the business environment, in enhancing service quality, and in creating ecotourism benefits. (2) It is very apparent that the tourism offices of central and local governments, as well as related travel agents and local organizations, have to be trained with regard to the appropriate consumption of sightseeing products, with a consideration of productive yield and a critical focus on quality instead of quantity. Particular attention should also be given to local traveling capacity as well as support for regional development. The maintenance of the local cultural landscape or ecological integrity can directly offer tourists an unprecedented travel experience, which could encourage them to share their knowledge with others in society after traveling, and consequently promote the sustainable development of ecotourism. (3) The results point to the fact that the tourism offices of central and local governments, related travel agents, and local organizations require training in providing special assistance to local residents with regard to the conservation of natural resources. Special training must likewise be provided concerning environmental protection, allowing them to educate the tourists in terms of politely respecting local traditions, norms, and cultures while traveling, since these activities are directly related to the sustainable development of ecotourism. Predictably, beyond this research, these three contributive findings can directly become the research foundation of future works that intend to focus on the sustainability of global ecotourism.

On 19 April 2022, in order to overcome a succession of recent global food health and agriculture safety (FHAS) incidents, the Taiwanese government instituted and announced 20 comprehensive Articles under the Taiwanese Food and Agricultural Education Law (TFAEL) for regulating the Taiwanese FHAS in order to completely construct the international strategies under the current global food security challenges of the FAHS. As a result, this research study firstly employs the learning community model (LCM) of the learning theory to measure the implementing depth of the international sustainability practice of the 20 Articles of the Taiwanese FHASE from a learning performance analytical perspective. Then, the social learning theory (SLT) of the educational theory is applied to consolidate the individual behaviors of the relative stakeholders, the organizational management of the relative industries and the socialized consent of the multilateral organization performance assessment network (MOPAN) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN). After completing quantitative and qualitative analyses, the two most valuable conclusions and findings were as follows: (1) Not only Article 12, but also Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the new law can empirically facilitate strategic management for supporting and promoting the Taiwanese FHAS educational policy dialogue at a global, regional and country scale in order to effectively advance the international sustainable compatibility of the TFAEL. (2) Articles 6, 11 and 16 of the new law can completely construct operational management for building normative and standard-setting Taiwanese FHAS educational works in order to efficiently advance the international sustainable compatibility of the TFAEL. Therefore, beyond the analytical results of this research, the international sustainable compatibility of the TFAEL provides a direction for the development of sustainable food systems, food policies, agricultural food markets and food chains in order to overcome the various contemporary global food security challenges.

Based on the blueprint for bilingual education as a national policy, teachers in technical and vocational schools are preparing, in full swing, to teach subjects in English. However, most teachers in the institutions do not have the skills and backgrounds to implement English-mediated instruction (EMI). Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate talents and popularize programs in technical and vocational education and educate talents to have bilingual ability. In addition, international mobility and internship experience in English is also required. The current environment needs to be improved for bilingual education, promoting that bilingual teaching is beneficial to students and teachers. Even though thus puts pressure on them for learning and teaching in technical and vocational schools, bilingual education is the future direction of education in Taiwan.

Due to the rapid innovative applications of technological education as a result of the swift development and popularity of telecommunication and wireless technologies, ever-more diversified methods of technological education play a critical role in various education and lecturing activities, without time and distance restrictions. Currently, in order to bridge the urban–rural development gap, the Taiwanese Government has introduced a lot of policies to encourage teenagers to return their hometowns; however, these policies have not achieved their goals, as the most of Taiwanese community development associations faced scarcities of professional knowledge without any educational support during the development of their various schemes, such as economic development, environmental protection, cultural heritage, public services, etc. As a result, local development depends on entire community development associations, especially in the most mountain regions of Taiwan. Moreover, community development associations have a lot of social responsibilities, such as age-related caring activities, driving local economies and industrial development, environmental protection and education, maintaining and developing traditional cultures and arts, etc. Due to the digital characteristics of technological education, most Taiwanese rural community development associations are able to obtain professional information and data about courses without space and time restrictions. Thus, after strengthening and satisfying professionals’ demands, local economies will achieve growth and, therefore, younger persons would be encouraged to stay their original area, thus stimulating the development of rural community development associations. Eventually, the positive development cycle is predicted to increased and, as a result, the urban–rural disparities will be directly diminished by the diversified application of technological education in Taiwan.
