Teachers face daily struggle with sleepy, hungry pupils

Teachers in almost two thirds of primary school classrooms are struggling to teach their students because the children have not had enough sleep.

Pupils are also struggling to concentrate because they are not properly nourished.

In a report released by the Educational Research Centre, the fatigue is blamed on the fact that 54% of the 10-year-olds surveyed have a television in their bedroom and 19% have a computer.
