Corporal punishment in schools

Summary

Dr. Browne asked whether corporal punishment could be abolished; the Minister requested notice, and Collins noted the Minister had previously addressed the issue.

In order to attempt to increase the happiness of children and eliminate the fear of education and school, would the Minister consider abolishing the use of corporal punishment prior to the application of the dynamic of education methodology in that school?
