Kabuasua Elementary School

What is now Kabuasua Elementary began in 1954 as a branch school of nearby Shengxian Elementary, becoming an independent school in August 1957 (民國46年). On August 1, 2010, it was renamed to its current Siraya name, "吉貝耍" (Ka-bua-sua) — a Siraya (Pingpu plains-indigenous) word meaning roughly "place of the kapok/silk-cotton tree." It was the first school in Taiwan officially renamed after a Pingpu plains-indigenous community, and only the second school nationwide named for any indigenous group. The school runs ongoing cultural-asset and heritage-education programs tied to local Siraya traditions.

吉貝耍國小前身於1954年設立為聖賢國小東河分校，民國46年（1957年）8月獨立設校。民國99年（2010年）8月1日更名為現今的西拉雅語校名「吉貝耍」（Ka-bua-sua），意為「木棉（刺桐）之地」，是全台第一所以平埔族群名稱正式重新命名的學校，也是全國第二所以原住民族群命名的學校。學校持續推動與在地西拉雅傳統相關的文化資產與文化教育課程。
