Last year, there were 83 cases of suspected sexual assault by teachers and 588 cases of sexual harassment, ministry data showed. The number of cases of teachers sexually assaulting students has risen eightfold from a decade ago, while there has been 16 times the number of sexual harassment cases, the statistics showed. Even if a student expresses affection toward a teacher, teachers need to draw the line, he said. “Wolf teachers are wolf teachers,” Lin said, using the Chinese-language term for teachers who have committed sexual offenses against students. The organization urged the Legislative Yuan to pass draft amendments to the Teachers’ Act （教師法） to more effectively handle “unsuitable” teachers.
