教育部針對校事會議制度進行修正,允許符合規範案件在前端直接結案,引發教育團體與人本基金會關注。
教育部今(7)日再修正校事會議制度,教師行為若顯屬依法不予處罰或符合學校輔導管教規範,可在前端直接結案。人本教育基金會發聲明直指,此次修法朝階段性優化發展,有助減少不合理投訴及行政資源虛耗,但案件判斷標準、學生救濟及調查公正性仍待改善;對於部分教師團體要求廢除校事會議,人本強調,制度可以改革,但不能讓案件重新回到由教評會處理,並建議研議校外第三方調查機制。
人本表示,新制增加「顯屬合法即可結案」,確實有助學校篩選不合理案件,但何謂「顯屬」合法,實際認定仍缺乏明確標準,包括教師法中的「身心嚴重侵害」、「有解聘之必要」等,也存在判斷空間,教育部應訂定更具體、一致的標準。
人本指出,目前判斷案件是否受理、分流及處理的壓力仍主要由學校承擔,難以完全排除校內人情、行政負擔、政治壓力,以及專業性與獨立性不足等問題,因此此次修法只能視為階段性處理,制度仍有進一步改革必要。
學生救濟也是人本關切重點。人本表示,目前校事會議調查後,僅在處置涉及教師解聘、不續聘、終局停聘或資遣等影響教師身分情形,學生及家長才能取得完整報告並依規定陳情。人本引述國家人權委員會專案報告指出,以體罰或霸凌造成身心嚴重侵害成案的事件,有53.45%最後僅受申誡以下懲處,認為這類案件的被害學生及家長,後續救濟權仍未獲充分保障。
針對教師團體主張廢除校事會議,人本表示,若只是廢除而沒有配套,案件恐回到過去由教評會自行處理,要求同校老師決定同事去留,存在高度身分衝突。制度如何調整可以討論,但不應走回頭路。
人本建議教育部針對現有校事會議調查報告進行實證研究,分析大案小辦、小案大辦、應受理未受理及調查不專業等案件的態樣、比例與成因,公開研究結果並建立更明確標準;同時研議將案件移至校外第三方機制調查處理,讓學校回歸教學與輔導本務。

A teacher in the International Department of Uri Mingdao Middle School in Taichung was accused of sexual harassment by many people on social platforms. Students accused him of physical touching and verbal harassment. The Taichung City Education Bureau has requested an investigation. The school held a gender equality meeting on the 6th and decided to file an investigation and form an investigation team of professionals from outside the school.

The Ministry of Education will reform the school council meeting system today, adding new teachers who can directly close cases for reasonable discipline and 16 discipline guidelines. A statement issued by the National Education Commission pointed out that the current regulations lack corresponding penalties and coercive force for parents who do not cooperate, making it difficult to solve the dilemma of front-line counseling and discipline.

The Ministry of Education reformed the school meeting system on the 7th, clarifying that reasonable discipline can directly close the case. The National Federation of Education issued a statement affirming that it takes "small cases to deal with big problems" seriously, but pointed out that core shortcomings such as presumption of guilt and misuse of investigations have not been resolved, and once again called for the direct abolition of school affairs meetings.

The Ministry of Education announced a reformed version of the school affairs meeting, clarifying the conditions for direct closure of cases with reasonable discipline and external investigation. Nine unions, including the Taiwan Education Industry Union, criticized the move as merely a minor adjustment and failed to solve the fundamental problem. They called for the abolition of school meetings and the enactment of teachers' reputation restoration and compensation mechanisms into law.

The Ministry of Education announced today a reformed version of the school council meeting, revising the methods for teacher dismissal and performance assessment. If the teacher's behavior is obviously reasonable discipline, the school can directly close the case without holding a meeting; general assessment cases will be changed to internal investigation as a principle and external recruitment as an exception to solve the disputes of excessive prosecution and small cases.

A 26-year-old female special education teacher in an elementary school in Taichung City, surnamed Chen, died at school yesterday morning. A friend who claimed to have been with her for nearly 20 years posted on Threads and revealed that Teacher Chen had said before her death that "my colleagues put me under a lot of pressure" and "I didn't want to go to school." She also mentioned that she had received psychological counseling but was not happy and needed medication to sleep. The school said it was surprised when it received the news, and emphasized that communication has been good at ordinary times. It is clarifying the situation described by the friend, and hopes to give the family a calm space and respect their willingness to disclose to the outside world.
