To inform you about the Ministry of Education's letter dated August 9, 113 (2024), Ref: Tai Jiao Guo Zi No. 1130088988, regarding doubts about its effective date.

Explanation:
1. In accordance with the Ministry of Education's letter dated September 4, 113 (2024), Ref: Tai Jiao Guo Zi No. 1130096807.

2. It is noted that the Ministry of Education's letter dated August 9, 113 (2024), Ref: Tai Jiao Guo Zi No. 1130088988, states that when teachers in private primary and secondary schools transfer to public primary and secondary schools and obtain a higher academic degree, if the salary level determined according to Article 11, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of the Regulations on Remuneration is limited by the highest base salary of the appointed position level, resulting in a salary level lower than the salary level determined for their last position in private primary and secondary schools, they may first be reclassified according to their higher academic degree, and then their prior service years may be counted according to Article 9 of the same Regulations.

3. In summary, the aforementioned interpretation is the Ministry's clarification of the Regulations on Remuneration, elucidating the original intent of the regulations, and should therefore be applicable from the date the regulations come into effect.
