**Singapore Introduces School Caning For Bullying**

Singapore has introduced new guidelines [allowing](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/06/singapore-caning-school-bullies) schools to use caning as a last resort for male students aged nine and older who engage in bullying, including cyberbullying. The punishment, limited to a maximum **of three strokes, **will only be administered by authorized teachers following approval from a principal.

International organizations, including UNICEF, oppose such corporal punishment, citing risks to the physical and mental health of children.

**Do you support these measures?**

 — Yes, it is fair
 — No, these are medieval methods!
