An eleven year old boy in Alexandria, Egypt had not finished his homework. After using a ruler to punish him, the teacher is alleged to have taken the young boy outside the classroom and hit him violently in his stomach.
The young pupil fainted and later died in hospital of heart failure.
The teacher have told the prosecutor that he was only trying to "discipline the boy, not to kill him". Egyptian court has sentenced a teacher to six years in jail.
Corporal punishment is common practices in schools. The death of this child in Egypt should serve as a huge wake up call to educators world wide. Corporal punishment to children should be banned in all schools in every nation.
