Decolonization transferred colonial corporal punishment apparatus rather than ending it

Evidence

First: the post-independence African state inherited the colonial-mission disciplinary apparatus as a going operational concern. It did not dismantle it. It expanded it, indigenized it, and transferred it from European to African hands. The operational substance was preserved. The political-administrative coloring changed. The cane in the headmaster’s office moved from a colonial school to a national school. The cane did not move out of the office. — , The Rod and the Child, 4514
