Anyone can hit anyone else anywhere but usually it will be a criminal act in most places unless it is in self defence.

The only time it might be legal is when the assault is chastisement.

Physical chastisement is allowed in some Countries and States Educational systems. If a Nun was in a permitted position of Authority in a school, it might therefore be legal for a Nun to hit a pupil, but only as reasonable chastisement. The pupil would need to have committed some infringement of a rule for which an approved sanction was physical violence and the violence carried out would need to only cause minor injuries.

Such assaults are not now permitted in any UK Educational establishment (I see that the question is currently categorised within the UK Religion and spirituality section.)

What was a nuns education?

Roman Catholic AnswerA nuns education is entirely dependent upon what order she belongs to. Normally, when speaking of nun, as opposed to a sister, the basic education required would be religious, spirituality, history, etc. There would be basic education in prayer, etc., and Latin if that is the language used for the Office. Some nuns are not strictly cloistered, and may, perhaps run a school or, in the case of some Benedictine nuns, they may teach or nurse, like a sister. These nuns are sent for advanced education to the appropriate school.

What if a school will not allow a non Catholic student to enroll?

If its a Catholic School run by priests or nuns, they have the full right to deny any admission. For Non Catholic students, normally there are interviews taken. If the child can successfully clear out the interview then the priest / nun won't have any reason to deny admissions.
