Lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties have raised concerns about the nearly 50% budget increase for the Overseas Chinese student retention program in the Overseas Community Affairs Council's (OCAC) fiscal year 115 budget. OCAC Minister Hsu Chia-ching explained today that the increase is primarily due to the annual accumulation of student numbers and the Ministry of Education's cessation of tuition subsidies.
