Syuejia District

Syuejia District (Chinese: 學甲; Hanyu Pinyin: Xuéjiǎ Qū; Tongyong Pinyin: Syuéjiǎ Cyu; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ha̍k-kah-khu), alternatively spelled Xuejia, is a district of about 24,857 residents in Tainan City, Taiwan.

The name of the district means "excellent academic achievement", in which the word 學 (syué/xué) means academics, and the word 甲(jiǎ) is the top grade in the traditional Taiwanese grading system.[citation needed]

Syuejia was originally inhabited by the Siraya people. During Japanese rule, Syuejia was part of Tainan Prefecture. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Syuejia was organized as a rural township of Tainan County. On 2 February 1968, Syuejia was upgraded from rural township to urban township due to its population. On 25 December 2010, Tainan County merged with Tainan City and Syuejia was upgraded to a district of the city.
