Philanthropy慈善事業

The Mercers' company, which has existed since 1394, insisted it would be in education for the long term.
Mercers公司創立於1394年,堅持教育是長期性的。

Its spokesman at the Downing Street seminar, Charles Parker, said its approach would be "enlightened private sponsorship". It already has involvement with 16 schools in the state and private sector but wants to extend that.
在Downing Street研討會中,其發言人Charles Parker表示,其做法是“公開的私人贊助。”該公司在國家和私營部門裡已經與 16所學校合作,並且還要再擴展。

Noting that the Mercers' Company puts about £3.5 million into schools each year, he said: "People do pay attention if you have a bit of cash".
Mercers公司每年提出大約三百五十萬英鎊給學校。他說:「如果你有一點的現金,人們千萬要關心」。

However, the Mercers' Company is a charity with no particular business interests or philosophy to promote other than philanthropy.
Mercers公司猶如是一家慈善機構,沒有特定的商業利益或理念,只專注於促進慈善事業。

上述文章可以看出Mercers他們教育的重視,近年來台灣也越來越多營利單位開始成立非營利組織投入資金在教育的領域上,例如:TVBS即成立了TVBS關懷台灣文教基金會捐1.5億改建因在921地震時受創嚴重的霧峰國中成為地震斷層館,並且平時也關還弱勢兒童的教育問題,幫助偏遠地區貧困學童就學;富邦集團也成立富邦文教基金會,期望透過各種正向休閒活動、行為教育的推展,有效地遏阻青少年誤入歧途,同時培養多元能力,成為未來社會的中堅份子。

因此教育不再只是政府單方面的努力,透過社會的關注與投入,讓教育領域達到更公平、資源更加多元的經營。
