INTRODUCTION
In 2003, the OECS Ministers of Education requested that research be conducted to investigate factors that lead to relatively high rates of indiscipline in school and suggest policy options. This request grew from rising concerns expressed by education system stakeholders in all OECS countries over issues of growing verbal and physical violence and disruptive classroom behaviour, all of which impair the capacity of the education system to effectively accomplish its main aims. In response to this request, the OECS Education Reform Unit (OERU) undertook this comprehensive study, building on its previous research work. The objectives of the study were:
· Describe and analyze the prevalence, nature, and sources of school discipline problems in
OECS schools, with special emphasis on violence (any type of violence involving pupils,
teachers, parents or others that affects the school environment)
· Identify policy implications and formulate recommendations to OECS Ministers of
Education for actions aiming to 1) prevent, 2) reduce opportunities for, and 3) effectively
manage school discipline problems.
