Before I joined the cabinet as digital minister, I served as a reverse mentor, a young adviser to cabinet ministers. We have a system where each cabinet minister—usually older than 35, with the exception of our sports minister who is 30—must work with people younger than 35 as reverse mentors to learn from the young people. When I was a reverse mentor, I joined the curriculum committee that determined Taiwan’s basic education curriculum.
