JAMRUD, KHYBER TRIBAL DISTRICT, PAKISTAN – A horrifying incident has rocked the community of Jamrud, where a 10-year-old boy, Khyalmat Khan, reportedly died after being severely beaten by his headmaster in front of the entire school assembly. The Year 6 student succumbed to his injuries just hours after the brutal assault.

According to local police reports, Headmaster Waqar Ahmed allegedly struck Khyalmat Khan with a rod on his head, face, and back for what witnesses described as a “minor” mistake. The headteacher has since been detained, and an investigation into this tragic event is underway.Khyber District Police Officer Rai Mazhar Iqbal condemned the act, stating unequivocally, “Violence against children and women will not be tolerated under any circumstances. No one has the right to misuse the noble role of a teacher to commit such brutality. A teacher is a spiritual guardian, but this man has dishonoured the sanctity of the profession.

“This incident tragically highlights the persistent issue of corporal punishment in Pakistani schools, despite a nationwide ban enacted in 2021. The ban followed several high-profile cases of fatal beatings in educational, religious, and workplace settings.

The Wider Context of Corporal Punishment and Education in Pakistan:Pakistan faces a significant challenge with child education, reportedly having the world’s second-largest number of children out of school, estimated at around 24 million. Many factors contribute to this, and among them, beatings by teachers are frequently cited as a primary reason for children staying away from school.

Studies and reports shed light on the prevalence and impact of corporal punishment:

ADVERTISEMENT

* Prevalence: A study conducted among 4,200 children aged 5-16 in Pakistan found that all children were victims of physical punishment by their parents at home. In schools, one study indicated that physical punishment is used in approximately 89% of both public and private schools.

* Gender Disparity in Punishment: Research from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province showed that 91.4% of boys and 60.9% of girls reported experiencing corporal punishment at school within a four-week period. Male students are also reported to receive more punishment.

ADVERTISEMENT

* Teacher and Parent Acceptance: A 2013 study revealed that 65% of teachers accepted physical punishment for discipline, and a 2016 study found that 76% of parents also accepted it. Disturbingly, 75% of teachers and 84% of parents believed teachers were justified in punishing children.

* Impact on Students: Corporal punishment has been linked to negative psychological and physical effects, including increased fear (68.3% of participants in one study), decreased self-confidence (70%), heightened anxiety (45%), increased aggression (59.2%), and even suicidal thoughts (67.5%). It is also a significant factor in student drop-out rates, with one estimate suggesting 35,000 high school pupils in Pakistan leave school annually due to corporal punishment.

Campaigners, such as former lawmaker Mehnaz Akber Aziz, emphasize that “laws alone are not enough” to eradicate corporal punishment. They advocate for a comprehensive approach that includes public education campaigns, extensive teacher training, and accessible child helplines to create safer learning environments.

The tragic death of Khyalmat Khan serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to fully implement the ban on corporal punishment and foster educational environments where children are safe to learn and thrive.
