On the 28th, the Osaka District Court admitted the complaint and ordered compensation from Osaka Prefecture in a trial in which a teacher at a prefectural high school in Osaka complained that he was forced to work long hours constantly and developed adaptation disorders. Governor Yoshimura said it was important to work to reduce the burden on teachers, and stated that he would not appeal.
A teacher at Osaka Prefectural High School, in addition to being in charge of the classroom teacher, was forced to work long hours constantly due to guidance on club activities on holidays, etc. On the 28th, the Osaka District Court fully admitted the teacher's complaint and ordered the prefecture to compensate more than 2.3 million yen.
Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture announced at a press conference on the 29th that he would not appeal this decision.
In this, Governor Yoshimura said, "We should focus on reducing the burden on teachers rather than fighting in court. Especially when club activities are involved, it will be a heavy burden, so we will consider measures based on this judgment. I want teachers to be able to concentrate on their educational activities. "
He said, "I am sorry for the plaintiff's teacher this time and would like to apologize."
As a result, the decision that ordered Osaka Prefecture to compensate is expected to be finalized.
