Aims and objectives of the action plan

(1) To explain the disruptive classroom and outside classroom behaviour of primary school students;

(2) To identify the various forms of indiscipline at school;

(3) To understand the extent to which indiscipline is affecting the school;

(4) To explore the mechanisms which exist at school to tackle indiscipline.

I also found that the National Economic and Social Council issued a report on the topic recently in November 2012. That may help us to draft our recommendations after we have identified the most important cases of indiscipline :)

Also, please see this interesting depiction of discipline and indiscipline below:



Don't you think that we need to include this in our action plan? I think it brilliantly conveys the effects of discipline and indiscipline.

Action plan on discipline to be implemented at school

It is no surprise to anyone that indiscipline at school is increasing at an alarming rate. Discipline should be maintained in ALL schools at ALL time.


As a place of learning, school should be kept safe for both pupils and teachers.

While corporal punishment is rejected, discipline is recognised as fundamentally important in a healthy childhood:
“The healthy development of children depends on parents and other adults  for necessary guidance and direction, in line with children’s evolving capacities, to assist their growth towards responsible life in society.”

Teachers can play an active role in implementing and restoring discipline at schools.

Before writing an action plan to be submitted to the principal, can we start by identifying some cases of indiscipline?



Thank you for your contribution.
