Should school lady student be cained if commited offences?

It is a norm that a male student will be punished when committed offences in school. Nowadays, students committed offences in school not only by male, but female students as well. Male students will be caned when committed faults, which is suppose to be. Question now is: Should female student be treated the same if committed fault?

I think it is fair that anyone breaking rules shall be punished and by mean of same punishment as well. If a male student is being caned, so do a female student. We shall have an equal standard regardless of male or female. Anyone if found guilty of wrong doing shall be punished equally regardless of its gender.

For a govt body to stood out and oppose to such punishment on female student is damaging and damning. Look at what happened recently in school, where majority of cases were involving female student. If this is not being taken seriously, things will soon be out of control, and by then it will be too late too little they could do to help or punish these minority. We do want the system being set correctly right from the beginning, not to change or alter subsequently and frequently to suit the condition then! (FYI this is exactly what happened in Malaysia right now in most of other aspect, where authority will only look into cases seriously after some damning things happened.)
