The Alliance Cultural Foundation (ACF) is dedicated to driving change in the rural areas of Taiwan and changing the lives of students from financially underprivileged backgrounds, through education as a ground for nurturing talents and engineering social revolution. In doing so, ACF takes a leaf from one of the largest and most successful public charter school networks in the United States – the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP). Since 2015, ACF and Junyi Academy has supported the teachers and principals of rural schools to attend the annual KIPP School Summit (KSS), seeking inspiration for innovation in operating schools and effecting education. This July, led by the Chairman of Junyi Academy, Fang Shin-Jou, 14 educators participated in the KSS 2016.
