Last year, 273 teachers were disciplined for obscene acts and sexual harassment of children, students, colleagues, etc., the second highest number in the past.
For the first time, we examined the breakdown of particularly vicious "obscene acts" and found that 70% of children under the age of 18 were injured.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, among the teachers of public schools nationwide who were disciplined last year, 174 were punished for "obscene acts" such as forced obscenity and voyeurism, and sexual behavior that made them uncomfortable. The number of people punished for "sexual harassment" was 99, totaling 273.
Although the number has decreased by 9 from the previous year, which was the highest number ever, it is the second highest number ever.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is demanding stricter disposal standards for each local government, and by September, teachers' obscene acts against children and students have been dismissed from disciplinary action in principle in all local governments.
In addition, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has decided to extend the posting period of the information retrieval system for those who have revoked their teacher's license from the current 3 years to 40 years due to the increase in dispositions.
"Isn't the surface surface a small part?"
Regarding this result, Associate Professor Yukiko Imai of Nara University, who specializes in criminal psychology and is familiar with indecent cases of teachers, said, "Obscenity by teachers causes serious psychological damage to children and students and loses trust in education. It is also a threat that can be seen. It is difficult to speak out, and only a small part of it has surfaced. "
Associate Professor Imai also interviewed the teacher who caused the obscene case, saying, "It seems that we are going toward children as a target to relieve the stress of life, and we fall into the wrong thought, such as" If this is the case. " Damage will occur. We are familiar with the hidden places in the school, and there are many cases where we approach inquiries about grades and club activities while using our absolute position and credit. "
Associate Professor Imai is working on creating a checklist for teachers to look back on their actions, such as "Individual interviews with specific children may take multiple times for a long time" or "For guidance, encouragement, and envy." We have set up 34 items such as "I may touch my body" so that I can visualize the degree of danger.
Associate Professor Imai said, "Regularly grasp your own behaviors and tendencies and consult with people close to you about the stress you have. If you cannot eliminate it, you will be a psychological specialist or a medical institution specializing in the sexual field. It is important for us to take immediate action, such as by consulting with. "
