A servant-leader who believes every child carries a unique light worth nurturing.
Principal Yang Zhen-Feng brings a lifelong dedication to education to the heart of Pitou Township. Shaped by over two decades in the classroom and administration — from Wanxing to Minquan to his current post at Hosin — he leads with the conviction that school is first and foremost for the student.
His philosophy draws from Victor Hugo's vision of the boundless human soul and Friedrich Froebel's gentle reminder that education is nothing more than love and example.
楊校長在教育路上走了三十餘年,歷任教師、教學組長、教導主任、課程督學,至今主持合興國小。他相信每一位孩子都有與生俱來的氣質與能力,學校的使命是為每個孩子打造適合成長的環境,「學生主體,教學為先」是他辦學的核心信條。
There is a spectacle more vast than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a spectacle more vast than the sky, and it is the interior of the soul.
Education is nothing more, nor less, than love and example.
A framework built on love, capability, and servant leadership.
Every plan and support system puts the student first. With love as its foundation, the school strives to reach every child, teach according to each learner's nature, and bring every student forward.
Guided by UNESCO's five pillars of lifelong learning:
Education exists to serve. A principal leads by example, willing to sacrifice and contribute — embodying the belief that thoughts shape habits, and habits shape destiny.
Children flourish in a warm, safe, respectful environment — like plants thriving in sunlight and water. Such a school builds self-confidence, dignity, and the foundations of whole-person development.
Respect every teacher's expertise, build consensus, and create a harmonious, professionally oriented environment — a place where "students love coming to school, and teachers teach with peace of mind."
Engage parents, community organizations, and social institutions as genuine education partners — rational communication, heartfelt tolerance, and mutual trust between home and school.
Like surveying a neglected garden — discern what must be cleared and what must be cherished, without damaging root systems or harmony.
Slower change breeds higher acceptance. Every transformation requires a plan and timeline; never sacrifice long-term foundations for short-term results.
A joyful workplace raises efficiency. Timely care and support for teachers resolves difficulties and fulfils their needs.
Build mutual trust through proactive care; use work checklists to enable self-monitoring and transparent progress management.
Use surveys and interviews to understand personal aspirations; set short-term goals that motivate teachers to pursue self-actualisation alongside institutional objectives.
Organise cross-school professional development; dedicate weekly morning meeting time for teachers to share insights; encourage action research and teaching portfolios.
Invite parents, teachers, and students to learn together and create a three-way win. Treat parents as friends; guide participation in ways that build belonging and identity.
"The school's future resources lie in the community." Encourage teachers and students to serve the community; invite community members to school events, building reciprocal bonds.
