Hi Mongolia-ga,
The most comprehensive site I have found, lists countries where
corporal punishment is legally permitted in schools. There are 78 on
the list. However, data was not available for 48 countries (mainly
small and third world). Would these two lists answer your question?
There is also information on corporal punishment in the home and in
the penal system.
