Official: These People CANNOT Engage in Education Sector in China

The Beijing Haidian District People's Court has sentenced a man surnamed Wang to jail for molesting young girls. According to the verdict delivered on Tuesday, Wang used to molest girl students during one-to-one classes he held while employed as an extracurricular teacher at a school.

Sometime in March the parents of a 10-year-old girl called the police to say that Wang had touched her private parts. Wang was arrested and now the court has found him guilty. Apart from imprisonment, the court has also imposed a lifetime ban on Wang from working in the education sector.

Wang is reportedly the first person to be sentenced after the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Education jointly released a document on Nov 11 providing guidance on implementing the ban on molesters from entering the teaching profession. The provision came into effect on Nov 15, the day Wang was sentenced.
