A century of schooling in the Puli basin.
Yuying Elementary traces its lineage to 1912, when it began as Puli Common School under Japanese rule — making it one of the oldest schools in the Puli basin. Renamed several times through the Japanese colonial and postwar periods, it took its current name, Yuying Elementary, in 1968. The 1999 921 earthquake caused severe damage to the campus, which was substantially rebuilt and completed in 2002, giving the school its present-day facilities.
育英國小校史可溯至1912年（明治45年），日治時期創校為「埔里公學校」，是埔里盆地歷史最悠久的學校之一。歷經數次更名，於1968年（民國57年）定名為育英國小。1999年921大地震重創校舍，其後展開大規模重建工程，於2002年完工，形成今日的校園樣貌。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🏫 Over a Century of History
跨越百年的校史

921地震後重建校園
The devastating 1999 earthquake forced a substantial rebuilding of the campus, completed in 2002 — a story of recovery shared with many schools across central Taiwan.
📛 Several Names, One School
歷經多次更名
Renamed multiple times through the Japanese and postwar periods before settling on Yuying Elementary in 1968, the school's naming history mirrors Taiwan's own 20th-century transitions.
Rooted in Puli's papermaking and flower trade.
As one of Puli's oldest schools, Yuying's century-long history mirrors the basin township's own development as a center of papermaking craft and flower and orchid growing — industries that have long defined the Puli basin's identity within Nantou County. See the Nantou county page for more on the region.
