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?

Whereabouts in the world did you grow up,@freyamartin? Corporal punishment was finally outlawed in Private Schools in England in the late 1990s. You're just old enough, by my calculations lol!

@ArtieKat I live in the UK now but I grew up in South Africa.
