Mayor’s Remarks:
1. Due to the recent sharp drop in temperature and the arrival of a cold wave, there may be adverse impacts on public health. The Social Affairs Bureau is requested to expand low-temperature outreach efforts and enhance public awareness efforts on staying warm and preventing cold-related harm. The bureau is also asked to assist in providing temporary shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness.
2. Dry winter conditions increase the risk of vacant lot fires or industrial facility accidents. The Fire Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, and other relevant departments are requested to strengthen preventive measures and early warning systems. Particular attention should be given to locations where waste is stored outdoors to prevent the buildup of methane gas. Additionally, the fire incident at the Houbi temporary waste storage site must not be allowed to happen again.
Reports
1. The Education Bureau presented a report on the "One Tablet per Student, Smart Learning in Every School" program (refer to written sources for details).
Resolution: Filed for reference.
Mayor’s Comments:
(1) All counties and cities nationwide are fully committed to promoting the “One Tablet per Student, Smart Learning in Every School” program within a four-year timeframe. In addition to receiving funding from the central government, Tainan City has also allocated limited municipal funds to accelerate implementation, allowing schools to achieve the goal of “One Tablet per Student” at an earlier stage. According to the Education Bureau’s report, AI and related technologies are being used to support differentiated instruction during classroom teaching aligned with the curriculum while also providing learning opportunities in technology education beyond the curriculum for students who are interested, gifted, or eager to explore.
(2) Tainan City has achieved notable results in implementing the “One Tablet per Student, Smart Learning in Every School” program. The city secured first place in the Presidential Cup AI Literacy Competition, boosting the confidence of award-winning students from rural areas and demonstrating the high level of “One Tablet per Student” penetration and adoption across the city. Looking ahead, the city aims to accelerate the deployment of AI-enabled laptops so that both teachers and students can fully experience the benefits of AI in both curriculum-based and extracurricular learning. This initiative is also expected to spark student interest in the use and training of drones and robotics. Appreciation is extended to the Education Bureau for its dedicated efforts.
2. The Sports Bureau presented a report on the "Progress of Public Sports Center Development in Tainan City" (refer to written sources for details).
Resolution: Filed for reference.
Mayor’s Comments:
(1) In addition to the existing Civil Sports Centers, Tainan City actively sought subsidies from the Ministry of Sports to construct Public Sports Centers in Xinying District and Annan District, with completion anticipated within this year. Furthermore, in response to public expectations and requests from councilors, the city has independently allocated funds to build Public Sports Centers in Yongkang District, Rende District, and the Southern Taiwan Science Park area. These projects involve substantial expenditures and are scheduled for completion in phases during this year (2026) or next year (2027). It is hoped that construction can be completed as early as possible so that citizens may begin using these facilities promptly. Appreciation is extended to the Sports Bureau for its efforts.
(2) Public Sports Centers are being constructed using public funds contributed by taxpayers. It is therefore expected that, through public–private partnership arrangements, their operations can be effectively optimized. Since operating entities are no longer required to cover construction costs, they should be expected to achieve financial self-sufficiency. This is also a key goal of the city government. By adopting a model in which the facilities are publicly built and privately operated, the city aims to provide high-quality sports venues that are affordable to the public and contribute to improved public health.
(3) In areas where no Public Sports Centers are planned for construction, the city will collaborate with local educational institutions—such as Chang Jung Christian University, CTBC University of Technology, and National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School—to establish Public Sports Centers, thereby providing accessible venues for citizens to engage in physical activity.
