Last month, at a high school in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, it was found that a male teacher who was an adviser to the softball club hit a female member's cheek and injured her chin.
The school has apologized to the students and is considering disciplinary action against the teachers.
According to Himeji Jogakuin High School, on the 24th of last month, a male teacher in his 40s who is an advisor to the softball club did not report that a first-year female student forgot his uniform at a tournament held in Hyogo Prefecture. It is said that he got angry at such things, slapped his cheek once and said, "Go home, I don't care about you."
When the student approached several times to apologize, he was told to "go away", and in the game the next day, he was kicked in the buttocks and hit on the head.
When the student was hit on the cheek, his jaw came off, making it difficult for him to open his mouth and eat.
Students are unable to attend school due to shock.
The school has apologized to the students and is considering disciplinary action against the teachers.
Principal Sukehiko Surikawa, who also serves as the chairman of the corporation that manages the school, told NHK, "I sincerely apologize to the students and parents who were affected, and I pray for a speedy recovery. We will take all possible measures to prevent a recurrence. I will do my best."
