Another one ...
.... bites the dust.
It's those durned anti spanking Zeolots again. 0:-] http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_5132...-Students.html Taiwan Becomes 108th Nation To Ban Corporal Punishment Of Students Taiwan on Tuesday banned corporal punishment of students in schools, becoming the 108th nation to abolish such punishment of children. Under the revised Fundamental Law of Education, the nation should protect students' right to study and to healthy personality development, and should protect them from physical punishment. The revised law passed its third reading in parliament on Tuesday and will become effective after approval by the cabinet. Taiwan's social groups and education reformers have been pushing for banning corporal punishment of children for years. In recent years the Education Ministry has issued orders banning corporal punishment of students, but the orders have not been written into law. Many teachers still spank students or verbally humiliate students, causing the latter physical injury or psychological harm. According to the Humanistic Education Foundation, some 69 per cent of Taiwan primary and high school teachers have engaged in corporal punishment of students, down from 89 per cent 10 years ago. Since 2002, the United Nations has been urging all nations to ban physical punishment of children, calling it a violation of children's human rights. According to the Geneva-based Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of children, 107 other countries have already banned corporal punishment of children either in school or in school and at home. © 2006 DPA |
