Corporal punishment is legal in the country but rights groups have called for the government to review the law
THE DEATH of a boy in Tanzania following a beating from a teacher has caused outrage in the country.
Sperius Eradius, who was 13 years old, died on August 27, just days after he was subjected to the corporal punishment.
His death has prompted campaigners to call on the Tanzanian government to review the use of beatings as a way to reprimand children in schools.
Tanzania’s health ministry is looking into the incident, The Guardian reported.
The boy’s parents reportedly refused to bury their son until the teacher was arrested and the school principal suspended.
