＊National Pingtung University of Education (NPUE) is located in Pingtung, the county seat of the southernmost of Taiwan's 19 counties. With a population of over 900,000, Pingtung is a bustling marketing and industrial center. Pingtung County is one of Taiwan's major zones of agricultural production, yielding rice and other produce enjoyed throughout the island. Pingtung has a justified reputation as a lush and prosperous region.

The history of National Pingtung University of Education extends back to the Japanese colonial period, when it was initiated as a facility to provide rudimentary teacher training. After Taiwan's restoration to the Republic of China in 1945, NPUE continued to function as a training facility and it was later promoted from a 5-year junior college to a 4-year provisional teachers college. In 1991, the college came under the jurisdiction of the national government, and its name was changed to reflect the new status within the constellation of normal colleges and universities in Taiwan. For yielding students to have a diverse vision, and also for cultivating more outstanding students on each field, on August 1st, 2005, the school was changed its name again as National Pingtung University of Education.

National Pingtung University of Education is one of a group of 12 teachers’ universities in Taiwan. With a student population of about 3000 and a very low student-teacher ratio, NPUE maintains the intimate feeling of a small community. The area of NPUE, a total of 62 acres, is divided into 2 campuses.

The west campus is the site of the university's science building, music and art departments, swimming pool, and student activity center. The newer east campus is the site of the university's administration center and library, both housed within a new, richly designed 14-story building. Also located on the east campus are the university's new auditorium and gymnasium. Both campuses include beautiful park areas, athletic facilities, dormitories, and modern classrooms, many equipped with the latest forms of educational technology.
