Teacher faces 3-year sentence over student assault
The article discusses the punishment for physically disciplining students in schools. Both the Penal Code and the Child Law state that hitting children is considered a misdemeanor, with potential penalties of up to three years in prison and a monetary fine. Neveen Wajih explained that the penalty is doubled if the teacher uses a stick to carry out the assault, and that parents or guardians are not permitted to waive the punishment related to beating with a stick, as the public interest aims to punish those who violate laws prohibiting physical punishment in educational institutions. She also noted reports of physical abuse against children, affirming that 45% of them are subjected to severe physical punishment, and called for the complete prohibition of hitting as a means of discipline.
