He said the decision was to promote a safe and protective learning and teaching environment for children and teachers.
Mr. Tsawodzi stated that some teachers did not want to practice positive discipline or comply with the discipline procedure established by the GES and that these teachers would not receive any protection from the Service.

He said some teachers and parents thought that "the African child needed sugar cane" was wrong and asked teachers to comply with the Positive Discipline Directive.

Mr. Tsawodzi noted that corporal punishment left emotional traces such as trauma, fear and shyness among children and advised teachers to try to bring students and teachers closer than to send them back with the cane. .

He added that the parents had been allowed to file a complaint of badault against teachers who had injured or badped a child and asked them to be wary of such summonses.

Mr. Tsawodzi said that in cases where children transgressed positive discipline, they should be referred to counseling and counseling centers in schools or districts.
