Photo: Tu Chien-jung, Taipei TimesDemocratic Progressive Party Legislator Huang Kuo-shu (黃國書) said that the ministry was negligent in enforcing its certification process for sports coaches. Why do we still have so many unlicensed instructors coaching in combat sports?” Huang asked. New Power Party Legislator Claire Wang (王婉諭) said that adults and children should be trained differently, asking why the government does not have coaching certificates with age-specific qualification standards. Coaches for children under 12 years old would be required to undergo additional professional courses, he said.
