In Singapore, schoolchildren will be caned for bullying

In Singapore, authorities have introduced new measures against school bullying. According to a decision by the local Ministry of Education, for boys aged nine and above, in some cases, physical punishment – caning – will be allowed from 2027, The Guardian reports .

Such punishment can only be applied with the permission of the school principal. It must be carried out by specially authorized staff, taking into account the student's age. A maximum of no more than three strokes is allowed.

At the same time, the school is obliged to monitor the child's condition and provide them with psychological support.

For girls and in situations where caning is not used, other measures are provided: detention after lessons, temporary suspension from classes, and a reduction in behavioral grades.

The practice of corporal punishment has long existed in Singapore: legislation prohibits it for women, but for men up to 50 years of age, court-ordered caning can be applied for some crimes.

    а лупцаванне розгамі з богу "старэйшых" і "разумнейшых" - гэта не булінг?
