Newspapers and Study Aid at Elementary and Junior High Schools

In 2014, Walsin Lihwa commenced cooperation with the Mandarin Daily News to provide the newspaper to elementary and junior high schools near its plants in Taiwan. Teachers introduce relevant topics reported in the newspaper to students to broaden their visions through interactive discussions. Moreover, Walsin Lihwa started to work with the PSA Charitable Foundation and the Mandarin Daily News' Bilingual Youth Journal in 2019 to enable bilingual newspaper reading to help strengthen students' aural and reading comprehension, oral fluency, and writing proficiency as well as their interest in reading and what happens around the world.

Walsin Lihwa also continued its donation to schoolwork guidance amounting to NT$400,369 at 5 elementary schools in Yenshui to help bridge the urban-country divide in education.
