Corporal punishment still used in schools?

I grew up in a culture where corporal punishment was used widely in schools. I now live in the UK where corporal punishment has been illegal in all schools (private and state) for years. How many countries are there where school corporal punishment is still common?

@updown2020 I know it some places it is allowed but not widely used. Is it widely used in those states?

@freyamartin I believe it is widely used in those states and that one has reintroduced the allowance of it for public schools.
