特招怎麼考

12年國教排富門檻接連受外界質疑，傳出教育部因此再度研擬出三方案，原本的114萬門檻，另外加計子女數，最多可提高154萬，另外還有138萬、148萬等不同排富基準！但到底採計哪種做法，教育部與立院協商了一天，還是沒有結果。

原本以在立院協商有了確定版的12年國教排富門檻，沒想到還是沒定案。

[[教育部長 蔣偉寧]]
“這三個方案我想，因為還是在徵詢大家的意見，所以我想我們會進一步的關注”

根據教育部研擬的三種排富方案，包括維持原先家庭年收入的114萬門檻，但每多一名子女加20萬，最高可拉高到154萬、138萬門檻或148萬門檻。

不過這些方案，教育團體通通不買帳。

[[全教總理事長 劉欽旭]]
“我們很清楚，這個議題是執政者拋出來，未來還會再變，我身為一個教育工作者，我要很沉痛的講，我不願意配合政府玩這種遊戲”

全家盟理事長吳福濱則提出171萬的排富門檻，讓幾乎九成家庭都可以免學費。
