About · 學校簡介

A rural school bucking Taiwan's enrollment decline.

Zilong Elementary Schoolʼs exact founding date could not be confirmed from its official site, but the school has made local news for what has been called a "rural enrollment miracle." In a recent year it recruited 30 new first-graders — 23 of them straight from its own kindergarten — allowing it to expand from six to seven classes despite Taiwan's falling birthrate, an outcome attributed to its emphasis on varied, hands-on curriculum rather than rote learning. The school is located in the small rural hamlet of Sanxie-Tanqian, within Jiali District.

子龍國小的正確創校年份於本次查證中未能於官網「學校簡介/沿革」頁面找到確切資料。近年學校因「鄉間招生奇蹟」登上地方新聞:某學年度招收30名新生(其中23名直接來自本校附設幼兒園),使班級數由6班增至7班,在少子化趨勢下逆勢成長,歸功於學校重視多元動手學習而非填鴨式教育的辦學特色。學校位於佳里區三協里潭墘,是一處小型鄉間聚落。

🐉

Located in the small rural hamlet of Sanxie-Tanqian, Zilong Elementary's growth against demographic headwinds mirrors the broader challenge facing Jiali's outlying farm villages, even as the district's town center remains anchored by Jinluan Temple (金唐殿) and its King Boat Festival tradition. See the Tainan county page for more on the region.
