Korean Teachers' Verbal Abuse To Be Banned?

I noticed an extremely relevant, but vague article in the Korean Times.
Beginning next year, any form of verbal abuse inflicted by teachers on their students within classrooms will be banned as the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education sets out its guidelines to better protect the rights of students. 
Topics off limits are a student’s appearance, family background, academic records and sensitive issues that could embarrass them. Instead of corporal punishment, students who misbehave or violate school rules will be subject to writing repentant reports or doing voluntary service. 
Also in the guidelines, schools will not be able to “designate” the hair style, fashion, and other aspects of the appearance of students. Teachers’ standing guard at the main gates of schools to check for inappropriate dress and hairstyles in the morning will no longer be allowed. 
If necessary, examining a student’s belongings will be allowed, but conducted by same-sex teachers to avoid embarrassment if personal items are disclosed to the public. 
Such guidelines will be finalized no later than next month to come into effect in March of next year.
Interesting... I suppose we need to wait and see what the finalized guidelines are, but I feel like such a policy if enacted nation wide would drastically change the Korean education system.

My personal experiences sharing a classroom with a Korean teacher have been humbling at times.  Some Korean teachers are ruthless, both with the use of corporal punishment and personal attacks on students.  I admit it has bothered me at times, but not a day goes by that I forget to appreciate not living in a hyper-sensitive and excessively politically correct education culture like the schools I am familiar with back in the United States.

How is this going to be enforced?  I cannot imagine systems of punishment or reprimands for veteran Korean teachers who will continue to let their students know if they are fat or unattractive.
