The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education took disciplinary action against a total of five people, including reducing the salary of a male teacher in his 40s at a metropolitan high school who had falsely accused a teacher of sexual harassment and asked for the dismissal of a teacher he knew.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, in July of last year, a 48-year-old male head teacher at a metropolitan high school in the Tama area pretended to be a female teacher and falsely claimed that he had been sexually harassed by a male teacher he knew. The requested post was sent to a dedicated website for the Tokyo metropolitan government's consultation desk.
When the person in charge of the Tokyo metropolitan government checked with the female teacher, it was discovered that there was no evidence of sexual harassment, and the lie was discovered.
The three met through the students' sports activities, and the head teacher said, ``I felt distrustful of the male teacher and thought he would be pursued,'' and the disciplinary action was taken by reducing his pay.
Additionally, in December last year, a 64-year-old male teacher working at a municipal junior high school in the 23rd ward, when teaching a first-year male student, wrapped cloth tape around the chair in the classroom to prevent him from standing up, giving him a sense of fear. about it.
The male teacher's explanation was, ``I was trying to show management that a student was doing something unrelated to class,'' and was given a disciplinary action including a pay reduction.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education took disciplinary action against three other people, including suspension.
