The situation in Taiwan isn't quite that rosy I don't think. The result of the examination system (which, FWIW, is not unique to Taiwan) is that high school kids routinely spend 12+ hours each day schooling. When they're not at public school, they're at private cram schools, and success in the exams certainly haven't been democratized for those who cannot afford the extra, private help to get ahead. So sure, it isn't corrupt, but the integrity of the examination system doesn't mean egalitarianism, not by a long shot.
