Haiduan Elementary School

Haiduan Elementary was founded in 1922 during the Japanese colonial era as one of the earliest education institutes established in a Bunun area, opening with just 13 students. Because surrounding Bunun settlements were often more than 10 kilometers away in the mountains, the school built dormitories so children could board on campus rather than face an impossible daily commute. Enrollment swelled dramatically from under 100 to 363 students within five years starting in 1954, peaking around 480 students in the 1960s and 1970s before declining sharply as the region's population changed.

海端國小創立於1922年（日治時期），是布農族地區最早設立的教育機構之一，創校時僅13名學生。由於周邊布農部落多位於10公里以上的山區，學校特別興建宿舍，讓孩童得以住校，免除長途通勤的困難。自1954年起五年間，學生人數從不到100人激增至363人，並在1960至1970年代達到約480人的高峰，其後隨著地區人口結構變化而大幅減少。
