It was because Nkrumah made education compulsory, and sometimes parents who didn't take advantage of this free service were punished. Harsh but a necessary evil. I know people in high places who claim they wouldn't have been educated but for this harsh law. Infact, I am sure some people here who insult Nkrumah without butting an eye will never have seen the four corners of a classroom had it not been for the Osagyefo's free and compulsory education policies.

RE: Corporal Punishment-a necessary evil It is not necessary, but it is definitely evil, what good does caning do do an errant kid? You should reason with them and you'd be surprised at the results, there is no need playing the big bad man.

Did you train wife beaters too? Corporal punishment is evil. It kills confidence in a child. Kids under your care should not be scared of you. Stop this nonsense and start talking to your kids. Now tell me if slaps and kicks are OK to subdue a suspect in po

RE: Corporal Punishment-a necessary evil 100 kids in a class? In this day and age or you are referring to the past? To the best of my knowledge no more than 40 in a class. I also condone the use of the rod. Its the best medicine.
