新加坡对校园欺凌男学生处以体罚
新加坡新规规定，针对校园欺凌行为，包括网络欺凌，男学生将被作为最后手段处以体罚。
根据新规，男学生可能接受最多三鞭的体罚，需校长批准并由授权教师执行，且会考虑学生的成熟度和体罚是否能帮助其吸取教训。
此举是在对欺凌问题进行一年评估后出台的，旨在应对此前引发关注的高调校园欺凌事件。
体罚仅适用于小学高年级（9-12岁及以上）的男学生，而女学生将接受其他惩罚措施，如留校察看和停课等。
新加坡保留为男性犯罪者实施的司法体罚，用于处理如抢劫、诈骗或逾期签证90天等犯罪行为。

Male school students who bully others, including through cyberbullying, will face caning as a “last resort” under new guidelines introduced in Singapore.Male students can face up to three strokes of the cane under the new rules, which were discussed in parliament on Tuesday.International groups such as Unicef, the UN’s agency for children, oppose the use of corporal punishment for children, saying it harms their physical and mental health, and increases behavioural problems over time.The education minister, Desmond Lee, told lawmakers that caning would only be applied “if all the other measures are inadequate, given the gravity of the misconduct”.“They follow strict protocols to ensure safety for the student. For instance, caning must be approved by the principal and administered only by authorised teachers,” he said.“Schools will consider factors such as the maturity of the student and if caning will help the student learn from his mistake and understand the gravity of what he has done.”The measures follow a year-long review that focused on bullying, and come after several high-profile school bullying incidents drew public attention last year.Caning will only be used as a punishment for male students in upper primary levels (age 9-12 years) and above, said Lee, who pointed to the country’s criminal procedure code, which prohibits the caning of women.After the caning is imposed, the school would “monitor the student’s wellbeing and progress”, including providing counselling, Lee said.Female students, he said, would receive punishments “such as detention and/or suspension, adjustment of their conduct grade and other school-based consequences”.Judicial caning, first introduced by British colonialists in the 19th century, continues to be used in Singapore for male offenders under 50. This includes crimes such as robbery, scamming or overstaying a visa by 90 days.A report released by the World Health Organization last year said that corporal punishment remained “alarmingly widespread” globally, adding that it caused significant harm to children’s health and development.Globally, an estimated 1.2 billion children aged 0-18 years are subjected to corporal punishment at home each year, according to WHO.
