Corporal Punishment Still A Reality In African Schools

South African authorities vow “harsh action” against teacher who beat pupil

Corporal punishment is still a reality in African schools despite being banned in many countries. A parent and student in Cameroon clash over the issue.

Plus Uganda’s Makerere University undertakes to carry out a full audit of students' marks over the last five years after suspicions are raised over degrees awarded in 2015. And a dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed in Abu, in Nigeria's south-eastern Abia state.
