Taking Kaohsiung City as an example, interviews among government officials, after-school services, and disadvantaged families were conducted,which were utilized as a check point for comparing effectiveness between subsidy for public schools and that for private after-school services due to the trends of two working parents in the family. The results indicate the following: 1. Taiwan Public Elementary School subsidy policy for children from disadvantaged families. Based on interviewing the families, direct subsidy yielded a much stronger efficiency. As to policy for difference compensation education, it was less efficient, per the interviews. 2. After School Services Subsidy Program for children from disadvantaged families. Using Kaohsiung City as an example, children of registered disadvantaged families who attend licensed private babysitting centers, nurseries, after school care centers, or public nurseries, and are from low-income families, mid-low income families with single parent, are physically/mentally challenged, parents are physically/mentally challenged, children of natives, children with delayed development, or under protection cases, the subsidy is NT$3,000 per month per person for attending private nurseries, kindergartens, or private after school service centers. Per interviews conducted among government officials, children care centers, and disadvantaged families, this subsidy is more effective.
