"Teachers in teacher training institutions need to be well modeled so that they are not perpetrators of corporal punishments." ~Filber Baguma, UNATU #endcorporalpunishment
"One of the most effective corporal punishment prevention programs is the Good School Toolkit...piloted in Uganda & discovered that it reduces teacher-student violence by 40%. The implementation cost per child is ...just $15..."~ Quentin Wodon, UNESCO #EndCorporalPunishment
