School Caning
Corporal punishment is lawful in schools but only for boys, and is regulated by the Education Regulations (Student Discipline) 2006.
However, there are many reported cases suggesting the caning of schoolgirls, on their palms, is a common practice especially in primary school. While serious infringements such as theft, smoking, gangsterism and bullying are among offences punishable by caning, minor transgressions such as incomplete homework have also been dealt with by physical punishment.
