Education Minister Desmond Lee on why only boys are caned in schools

Caning in Singapore schools is applied only to boys and reserved for serious offences under existing regulations, said Minister for Education Desmond Lee in parliament on Tuesday (May 5).

He added that while girls are not punished with caning, those who bully or misbehave still face consequences such as detention or suspension, depending on the severity. #singapore #sgnews
