Singapore has new rules for school bullies. Students who bully others may get caning as punishment. But the education minister says caning will only happen as a last choice.
Caning is hitting someone with a stick. It is used in Singapore schools and by police. Some people think it is too harsh. But Singapore says it stops bad behavior.
Only boys aged 9 and older can be caned. Girls will get other punishments like detention. The school principal must approve the caning first. After caning, schools will help students and watch their progress.
