The death of a student due to a concussion as a result of corporal punishment by a teacher and the viewing of videos of students being corporal punished in the classroom are important and unforgettable stories. Punishment means informing a person of a mistake and not repeating it, but the Executive Regulations of Schools and the Law on Handling Administrative Violations stipulate its prohibition, and in cases related to the occurrence of criminal offenses by offenders, it is also subject to criminal prosecution under the Islamic Penal Code. In addition to administrative violations, cases of assault, indecency, and intentional crimes can also be handled through the first-instance and appeals board of the Ministry of Education.
