Save the Children Fiji Warns Against Corporal Punishment
Save the Children Fiji has strongly condemned recent calls to reintroduce corporal punishment in schools, warning that such actions are illegal, unconstitutional, and a violation of children’s rights.
The organisation was responding to public comments made by members of the Fijian Teachers Association, including suggestions to bring leather belts into classrooms.
CEO Shairana Ali says these remarks not only breach Fijian law but also risk inciting violence and carry legal and professional consequences.
She adds that it violates Section 41 of the Constitution and Fiji's obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
