Just when Nigeria adopted the "no smacking" law, ministers lifts the ban in UK
Teachers will be allowed to use force on pupils again after violent behaviour in our classrooms doubled in just a year.
Ministers lifted the 'no touching' ban to ‘unequivocally restore adult authority to the classroom’.
The new measures, to be introduced in September, state all schools should scrap existing ‘no touch’ policies.
At present, teachers are not allowed to touch a child at all
But teachers will now be able to use reasonable force to eject unruly pupils from the classroom, or prevent them from leaving.
The measures will allow teaches to stand between pupils or physically block their path. Staff will be able to guide children by the arm or restrain youngsters to get them under control.
Teachers may get involved to break up fights or prevent disruptive pupils from attacking other classmates or teachers.
Good move for UK
