Ten Principals Retire in Changhua County, Taiwan; Two Return to Former Schools

A wave of retirements is set to reshape educational leadership in Changhua County, Taiwan, with ten principals from junior and elementary schools stepping down. This transition has triggered a significant reshuffling of school leadership across the region.

A notable aspect of this year's appointments is the return of two principals to their previous positions. Li Jin-ren, who previously served as principal of Luquing Junior High School, will return to Lu Ming Junior High School. Similarly, Ke Wen-ji, formerly the principal of Lianxing Elementary School, is returning to lead Dazhu Elementary School in Changhua City. This 'huitiao' phenomenon, where leaders return to former posts, marks a unique trend in the current selection process.

The article outlines the results of the first phase of principal selections for junior and elementary schools. In the junior high category, Lu Ming Junior High will see Li Jin-ren take the helm, while Ye Fang-qi, previously principal of Minquan Waldorf Junior and Elementary School, will move to Luquing Junior High. For elementary schools, Dazhu Elementary will welcome Ke Wen-ji, and other appointments involve principals moving between schools like Lianxing, Cun Dong, Jiu Guan, Qiao Tou, Qing Shan, Cun Shang, San Tiao, and Ri Xin.

Several schools, including Luquing Elementary, Minquan Waldorf Junior and Elementary School, Hemei Elementary, Wen Kai Elementary, Ri Xin Elementary, Shui Wei Elementary, Hai Pu Elementary, Tu Ku Elementary, Cao Gang Elementary, and Fu Xing Elementary, will have their positions filled in a second round of selections. The retirements and subsequent appointments reflect a dynamic period for educational administration in Changhua County.
