Drama on 'Corporal Punishment'

Thursday, 19 January 2012

Students of JAAGO Foundation School's Rayer Bazar performed a drama based on 'Stop Corporal Punishment' on the 17th of January, 2012. Kids from Class 1 and 2 performed in the play, highlighting the effects on corporal punishment on the society today.

Corporal punishment was banned in Bangladesh on 13th of January, 2011 after a series of horrifying events reported in the newspaper. Sir Frank Peters, former Editor and Publisher, human right worker, is credited with the success of this ban.

At JAAGO School, corporal punishment in completely prohibited and any teacher who is seen practicing corporal punishment is discarded immediately. Our students, many of whom have seen examples of corporal punishment in their schools or localities are well aware of the influence of physical retribution on children.

The survey officers and school counselors warn parents against the usage of corporal punishment on at home. Any parent who is known to physically punish their kids is consulted by the survey team at the JAAGO School.

The kids were applauded by the teachers, students and other members of JAAGO.
