Abstract
Making the government information known to the public represents a meaning of democracy deepening, so the various countries all devoted to legislation of the freedom of government information; the Freedom of Government Information Law in Taiwan was promulgated on Nov. 28, 2005. However, owing to the national security, privacy and other factors, not every piece of information that the government has held by, or under the control of the government should be publicized, some of which can be exempted from disclosure under a circumstance of exception. The features of the national examination in Taiwan are professionalism and highly people oriented. In order to ensure a fair and objective examination, the examination information arising from exam process is under protection. However, will it hinder the fainess of examination to disclose the examination information? What’s the relation between the freedom of government information? Both of them are worth discussing. From the perspective of the freedom of government information, the study aims to explore the issues regarding the disclosure and protection of examination information, and to categorize the examination information into “normal examination information” and “personal examination information” to conduct analysis in terms of practice and theory aspects. The study has indicated that the examination information should be as open as possible under the trend of the freedom of government information. The disclosed contents should strive for solidness and perfection, and can also be exempted from disclosure due to the features of national examination system. However, the current disclosure exemption rule is somehow over limited. Therefore, this study suggests that the government should announce the names of non-question drafters and reviewers in question databanks and the good answers, and allow the examinees to peruse their personal answer sheets, and copy on limit. In addition to maintaining fair, plain and public principles under the concept of the freedom of government information, the suggests can also satisfy people’s right to know and ensure the transparency and prestige of national examination.
