💨 Abstract

The Goa government has issued a circular to aided schools, mandating a zero-tolerance policy against corporal punishment. The move comes after two teachers were arrested for beating a student. The government has emphasized the need for immediate action against violations, citing the RTE Act, 2009, which bans physical punishment and mental harassment. The Juvenile Justice Act also prescribes punishment for cruelty to children.
