According to this BBC News article, 19 teachers were reported to have been caned in Tanzania, under the orders of the District Commissioner.
Reasons given for the caning were that the teachers were blamed for being late or not showing up for work and not teaching the official syllabus.
Looks like it's quite difficult being a teacher there. On top of that, these teachers were caned in front of their students. That's the highest form of humiliation that can ever be inflicted on a teacher. How are the teachers going to gain back their students' trust, if that's even possible?
If that were to happen in Singapore, how would the public react?
