The Sports Ethics Center, under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (acting director Han Min-su Lee (President)), announced on the 30th that it will launch the legally mandated 'Re-education for Sports Coaches' program starting July 1 for sports coaches.
According to the Sports Ethics Center, the 'Re-education for Sports Coaches' is a legally required training that sports coaches working in sports organizations and schools must complete every two years, as stipulated in Article 11-6 of the National Sports Promotion Act.
The program consists of seven courses in total. Specifically, they include: ▲Types and realities of human rights violations and misconduct in sports ▲Prevention and response measures for human rights violations and misconduct in sports ▲Understanding of sports ethics, discrimination, and sports culture ▲Sports, law, and ethical issues ▲Creating a human rights-friendly sports environment ▲Dialogue with sports human rights experts ▲Anti-doping education.
The training period runs from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. Participants can join via the Sports Ethics Center's online learning platform 'Sports Ethics Learn' website. A certificate of completion will be issued upon finishing all courses and submitting the required survey.
Failure to complete the re-education will result in administrative penalties in accordance with relevant laws. First-time offenders will receive a written warning, second-time offenders will face a six-month license suspension, and third-time offenders will be subject to a one-year license suspension. The center plans to actively guide participants to complete the training within the designated period.
Han Min-su, acting director of the Sports Ethics Center Lee (President), stated, "The ethical awareness of sports coaches is the starting point for creating a healthy and fair sports environment. Through this re-education, we hope to enhance the human rights and ethical capabilities of sports coaches and spread the values of mutual respect and fairness throughout the sports field."
Meanwhile, individuals who have experienced or witnessed improper acts such as violence, sexual violence, human rights violations, or misconduct within the sports community can seek counseling and file reports through the Sports Ethics Center's integrated reporting management system or its main phone line.
