NFU Office of Student Affairs

Division Intro.

Basis

1. Ministry of Education’s Annual Guidelines for Military Education and Training Affairs.
2. The university’s Annual Military Education and Training Implementation Plan.

Current Three Major Administrative Objectives for Military Education and Training

1. To implement national defense education and promote national spirit mobilization.
2. To prevent campus violence and strengthen the functions of off-campus student organizations.
3. To carry out the Education Substitute Service Program and effectively support the university’s educational efforts.

Working Methods

1. More Comprehensive Planning:
   A plan serves as the foundation for all actions and measures. In the planning process, it is first necessary to identify and define the key issues behind the plan: Does the school have the capacity to execute it? Can the plan be adjusted to respond to rapid environmental changes? Therefore, the formulation of the plan must adopt a higher-level and macro perspective to determine execution strategies, take into account the characteristics of the university, and eliminate all factors that could affect implementation, striving for a comprehensive and well-rounded plan.
2. More Concrete Methods:
   To achieve objectives, it is not enough to simply understand the intent and purpose of the plan. One should also examine or simulate the feasibility of the plan, consider different perspectives, and collaborate closely with personnel responsible for implementation. Through collective wisdom, the plan can be transformed into actionable and practical methods.
3. More In-Depth Execution:
   Even the best policy is meaningless without effective execution. Execution does not mean acting blindly; it requires complete planning to avoid superficiality or formality. When the achievement of objectives or execution capacity falls short of expectations, one must delve deeper into the core issues based on the existing foundation, identifying and resolving the true underlying problems.
4. More Remarkable Performance:
   The effectiveness of military training depends not only on comprehensive planning and concrete actionable measures, but also on the cultivation of team spirit. The staff of the Military Training Office, under the leadership and direction of the Director, must fully implement the three major administrative objectives of current military training. All tasks should be approached proactively and consistently, leveraging the operational strength of military training work to achieve twice the result with half the effort. In this way, performance will inevitably become evident.

Division of Responsibilities

1. Military Training Office:
   Properly plans, supervises, and executes all military training activities. Using annual work plans and regulations, the office evaluates the professional competence, conduct, and performance of staff involved in military training. Based on execution results, deficiencies are reviewed and recommendations for improvement are proposed. The office is also responsible for preparing the annual budget for all military training activities and operations, aiming to refine and implement plans effectively, thereby elevating military training performance from grade A to A+.
2. Military Training Staff:
   Under the leadership and command of the Director of the Military Training Office, staff must follow the office’s plans and relevant departmental regulations to:
   • Deliver comprehensive national defense education.
   • Assist students with daily life guidance and maintain campus safety.
   • Record daily military training activities accurately in the military training log for review.

Key Focus Areas

Supervision and Evaluation

1. Regular Evaluations:
   During the first semester of each academic year (August–December), the Ministry conducts intermediate-level evaluations to assess the implementation of military training. Concurrently, random inspections are performed to verify the overall effectiveness of the military training program at each institution. Rewards or penalties are determined based on the evaluation outcomes.
2. Regular Inspections:
   The Ministry forms inspection teams to conduct unannounced, irregular visits throughout the academic year. Key areas of verification include personnel discipline, military training instruction, duty attendance, campus security reporting, campus safety maintenance, the “Chunhui Project,” and military personnel dress standards. Observations of strengths and weaknesses are reported for review and improvement. Units or individuals demonstrating outstanding performance may receive special recognition, while serious violations result in disciplinary action.
3. Annual Military Training Review Meeting:
   To communicate educational policies, provide guidance, and review the implementation effectiveness of military training, an annual review meeting is convened with all military training supervisors at various levels to enhance overall training outcomes.
4. Work Meetings:
5. To ensure effective promotion of military training at universities and colleges, work meetings are convened every March, July, and November. The July meeting is combined with the annual military training review. These meetings review recent work achievements and deficiencies, provide guidance on key tasks and methods, and strengthen the effectiveness of military training programs.

1. Military Training Office Director:
   The Director shall uphold the principle of “accountable to superiors, serving subordinates”, supervising subordinate military training personnel to ensure full execution of assigned duties. Daily work activities must be documented in the relevant forms and military training logs for review.
2. Expanded Annual Work Meeting:
   At least once per academic year, an expanded military training meeting shall be convened, chaired by the University President. Participants include the Provost, Dean of Student Affairs, Director of General Affairs, Chief Secretary, Director of Accounting, deans, department heads, and program directors. During this meeting, reports are presented on the implementation status of the semester or academic year, factual observations, review and improvement proposals, key tasks for the upcoming period, and next year’s budget planning for military training. The meeting serves as a forum for coordination and communication among departments, enhancing the quality of the military instructors’ service to the school and students.
3. Accountability and Performance Evaluation:
   The Military Training Office Director is fully responsible for the success of the university’s military training program. By mid-July each year, a self-assessment of military training work must be completed. Rewards and penalties for staff performance should be strictly applied, adhering to the principles of:
   • Rewards from the bottom up, clearly distinguishing merit, and granting rewards appropriately while avoiding excess.
   • Military training staff who execute tasks thoroughly and demonstrate creativity should have these achievements reflected in awards, performance evaluations, or recommendation records.
   • Personnel who fail to improve despite guidance, exhibit incorrect understanding, perform inadequately, or achieve poor results shall face strict penalties.

Administration and Coordination

1. Effective Utilization of Resources:
   The Military Training Office shall, according to the characteristics of the university, efficiently manage personnel, budgets, equipment, facilities, and time through organizational planning, coordination, guidance, and performance evaluation. All resources should be closely integrated to achieve maximum efficiency, effectively manage military training tasks, and fulfill training objectives. Additionally, the Office shall plan for the necessary materials and equipment for military training and advocate for budget allocation to enhance overall training performance.
2. Guidance and Resource Management:
   The Director of the Military Training Office shall provide guidance and supervision to subordinate personnel to strengthen their capabilities, emphasizing timeliness and effectiveness. All available resources should be carefully planned, allocated, monitored, and maintained to ensure administrative efficiency and support the successful execution of military training programs.
3. Standardization of Documentation Practices:
   To continuously improve the management of files, correspondence, and official documents, all relevant university staff shall participate in Ministry of Education demonstration workshops and training programs. This ensures consistent practices and alignment with current military training administrative standards.
4. Routine Reporting:
   Relevant staff responsible for military training-related tasks must proactively submit routine reports to the appropriate Ministry of Education divisions before the start of the academic year. Any changes occurring during the academic year must be promptly reported and updated accordingly.
