Global Partnership to End Violence & End Corporal Punishment
This advocacy brief outlines the legal landscape around corporal punishment in Tanzania and makes the case for law reform. It notes that corporal punishment remains lawful in Tanzanian schools under the National Education (Corporal Punishment) Regulations 1979, and that the Law of the Child Act 2009 fails to repeal these provisions. The brief outlines what needs to change and what Members of Parliament can do to end corporal punishment in schools.
