Abstract
Beginning in the 20th Century, changing nature and function of higher education along with a retrenchment in government spending have forced higher education institute to make adjustments in their cost sharing schemes. In 1971, American scholar, D. Bruce Johnstone proposed the theory on higher education cost sharing which has since received much international attention and discussion. This paper offers an interpretation on the cost sharing idea and also analyses the opposition’s reasoning. Furthermore, it explores the use and practice of cost sharing in Taiwan’s higher education. Finally, based on Taiwan’s socioeconomic background and higher education development, it offers eight thoughts and suggestions for future directions.
