The belt, a traditional form of corporal punishment used in Scottish schools, was abolished in Scotland in 1986. The prohibition was part of a wider movement against physical punishment in educational settings. This change reflected evolving attitudes towards discipline and child welfare. The ban was formalized with the Education (Scotland) Act 1986, which specifically outlawed the use of corporal punishment in schools.
