Coaches who conceal or fabricate evidence related to violence against student athletes can be dismissed immediately after a single offense under new Ministry of Education guidelines distributed to schools in March. Starting this school year, abuse of student athletes will be subject to tougher penalties under the new “one-strike” system. Coaches who physically abuse students may receive a suspension in some minor cases, but serious acts of physical violence can lead to dismissal.
