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?

@Kzatovhich Wow that is quite a set of punishments, not just using an implement but physical exercise as well.

Ikr. Older generations had it much worse.

@Kzatovhich Yes I think that is why older generations are more in favour, they have seen how, used properly, it can have good effects.
