I wonder how severe a caning in an educational institute compares to one administered by state justice.

Adult caning is done by trained professionals. https://transformativejusticecollective.org/2023/10/20/getti...

School caning is with a lighter stick and through clothing, so it will be less severe, but the reduction in severity will probably vary a lot with the person administering the punishment.
