Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to warn its 10,000 plus affiliated schools against the menace this week. It will not only properly define corporal punishment but also suggest immediate action to be taken against those imposing it on students.

The board had suggested that teachers should instead be encouraged “to adopt alternative strategies to corporal punishment” and ensure a ‘fearless’ environments to students. Rule 44.1 of the CBSE affiliation bye-laws empowers the school Managing Committee to take action against an employee if he is charged with cruelty towards any students or employee of the school.

    Appreciate the decision to stop corporal punishment, but I know it is not so easy to follow. I too was student of CBSE affiliated school(Kendriya Vidyalaya) and many time I too suffered with this kind of inhuman punishment, any how if teacher will find any better way to control student then I welcome , yes I agree that punishment can make discipline but it can also stay away student from teacher to share their problems.
