Subsequently a further 30 Sarasas students have filed complaints and 13 teachers are due be charged<\/a>, according to the police.<\/p>\n

The incident has also ignited a debate surrounding corporal punishment and it’s widely known that schools still use physical punishment to control children.\u00a0Childline Thailand director Ilya Smirnoff commented:<\/p>\n
