The
Examination Yuan ( ) is in charge of validating
the qualification of civil servants in the Republic of
China
. It is one of the five government branches
("yuans") of the ROC government.
As a special branch of government under
the Three Principles of
the People, it may (retrospectively) be compared with the
European Personnel
Selection Office of the European
Union or the Office
of Personnel Management of the United States of
America
. Founded by Chinese nationalists at the
beginning of the 20th century, the Examination Yuan is based on the
old
Imperial examination system
used in premodern China. Its first minister was
Tai Chi-tao.
