Corporal punishment controversy
At Ishaka Adventist School of Nursing and Midwifery, two students who left their dormitory without permission were suspended, by the Deputy Princil of the school. When the suspended students returned to school, the parents were told to whip their children as punishment. The Senior Administrator of Ishaka Adventist Hospital, Lydia Komigisha told the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education and Sports, who were investigating the spanking of the students. That she was embarrassed of the pictures on the internet. She said that it wasn't the schools policy to use corporal punishment. Lydia Komigisha later suspended the Deputy Principal and the Clinical Instructor, for their actions.[9]
