The Renwen Educational Foundation, along with legislators Chen Pei-yu and Chang Ya-lin, held a press conference with parents of students on June 13, 2024, exposing financial irregularities and violent punishments in multiple school sports teams. The foundation has received reports of unclear financial records, excessive training fees, charging parents for competition expenses, and instances of violence. They highlighted the lack of transparency and accountability in the current system, urging the Sports Administration to develop standards and oversight mechanisms to prevent such incidents. Examples included a high school basketball team in Taipei where players were forced to pay for training, a junior high school baseball team in Taipei where fees were collected by a parental support organization, and a junior high school basketball team in Kaohsiung where undisclosed fees were collected by the coach.
