Abstract
The mother tongue educational right has a closing relationship with the culture right and the Linguistic right of the emerging human rights, but there is only an item(§10(11)) in the amendment of the Constitution ” actively preserve and develop language and culture of the ethnic groups”. Because there is short of the constitution indemnification, people hope the government to establish a law about the language right. In fact, what we said above is very close to the Taiwan history. Therefore, in the chapter two, we think that because Taiwan once lasted “the national language campaign” about one hundred years, the southern Fujian language, the hakka language, the original resident language had hurt too much to spread their mother tongues except the helps of government policy and educational system. However, in the 80’s, because of the political democratization, the end of martial law, and the appearance of social movements, finally hakkanese also fight for the mother tongue right and promote a view ”the mother tongue education, the chance to give off sound of hakka language, and to cancel the limit of the 20th item in the Broadcasting Act”. From now on, the hakka movement leads the direction of Taiwan hakka developments. lthough the government finally puts three points into practice, especially the mother tongue education about hakka language do not teach well in the elementary school and in the secondary school. Therefore, many hakka people so worry about the death of hakka language that they hope the government to set up a law to protect the hakka language. When many government departments bring up drafts, in actual, we should go back to the base to discuss if our constitution protects the mother tongue educational right, if the current laws have some drawback of executing the mother tongue education. There is the main talking range in the chapter three.n the chapter three, we affirm that even if the mother tongue educational right could not put into the 21th item, it should be confirmed in the 23th item. However, the present laws have many problems and could violate the constitution, so the laws need to be amended. About the amendatory direction, we not only introduce the standards about the language right of Canada and Singapore, but also introduce the good educational systems that are worth us to learn. Moreover, the thesis also talk about the important linguistic subject of debate recently.ifth chapter, it responds to what we said before. We support that the mother tongue educational right not only should be protected in the constitution, but also should be practicable in the law. Nevertheless, it is also important to pay attention to the relationships with the protection of other human right and the reasonable distribution of social resources. In addition, the existing laws need to be amended in a hurry. Furthermore, the government could consult the examples of Canada and Singapore about their advantages. Finally, the thesis also gives some suggestions and thoughts.
