Authorities confirmed that ten female nursery teachers aged in their 20s to 60s at Matsubara Nursery School in Tagawa, Fukuoka Prefecture, engaged in physical and psychological abuse toward children. The issue came to light in August when a teacher was found shouting at and hitting a child who was slow to finish lunch. A special inspection by the prefectural and city governments revealed no physical injuries among the children. Two teachers in their 20s have been dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Officials stated that internal monitoring functions failed and pledged to review supervision procedures. Source: KBC
