Teachers demand behaviour report fully implemented

THE student behaviour task force report must be fully implemented if Government wants to curtail the problems in classrooms, teachers warned last night.

The task force itself, chaired by Dr Maeve Martin from NUI Maynooth’s education department, urged Education Minister Mary Hanafin to implement all the proposals put forward in the conclusion of its report, School Matters.

“The task force is convinced these measures are contingent on each other in such a way that their implementation warrants a total and integrated response,” it was noted.
