Abstract

The education of the Seediq people embodies the pursuit of multicultural values, such as the reverence for the unity of man and nature, the spirit of bravery, and collectivism. In contrast, Japanese colonial education aimed at "Japanimation," disregarding the subjectivity of indigenous people and eliminating cultural diversity, which ultimately led to the resistance of the Seediq people. This enlightens us that the purpose of education should be to awaken individual consciousness, respect students' individuality, stimulate national confidence, cultivate cultural awareness, maintain cultural diversity, promote multicultural exchanges, adhere to a people-oriented approach, and foster students' all-round development. Only by practicing these concepts can education become an undertaking of cultural inheritance and human liberation, contributing wisdom and strength to national rejuvenation and human progress.
