In the context of global mobility, educational discontinuity poses profound challenges to the educational justice of transnational students. This study employs secondary data analysis as its research design, utilizing the latest dynamic statistics (N=2,125) from the Ministry of Education's "Transnational Students Education Network" to conduct spatial distribution analysis and cross-stage comparative analysis. Empirical results reveal a significant "regional clustering" of these students, centered in the Kaohsiung-Pingtung area—led by Kaohsiung City (n=628, 29.5%)—and northern metropolitan regions, reflecting asymmetries in industrial structure and resource allocation. Notably, the data indicate a failure in "academic language translation" as students transition to junior high school, leading to a marked regression in academic achievement and highlighting the structural vulnerabilities of current cross-stage transition mechanisms. Integrating the Capabilities Approach as a technical evaluative framework, this research shifts the focus of educational resilience from individual adjustment to institutional guarantees of "substantial opportunities" and "functionings." Based on aforementioned analysis, this study proposes three concrete practical pathways: establishing dynamic regional support platforms to enhance administrative efficiency in high-demand areas; developing intertextual teaching materials that integrate native linguistic assets to implement curriculum translation centered on "academic language support"; and strengthening the professional agency of teachers as "transformative intellectuals" to reverse institutional exclusion caused by misalignment of cultural capital through differentiated assessment and three-tier counseling interventions. This exploration not only provides precise optimization suggestions for Taiwan’s "New Resident Education Excellence Program" but also offers an empirically grounded, localized dialogue for global discussions on educational justice for migrant and returnee students.
