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?

It was banned in the UK in the mid 1980s. It was quite widely used when I was at school and when a boy was caned the event was discussed at break with all the details of what happened. I developed a strange curiosity to find out what it was like and deliberately got into trouble to get caned. I have posted about it elsewhere but I never regretted getting two strokes!
