To ask the Scottish Executive whether it considers that it is doing enough to tackle indiscipline in schools.
The Scottish Government is tackling indiscipline in Scottish schools in a variety of ways. We are committed to helping create peaceful and positive learning environments and are working with local Government and key stakeholders to develop guidance and support local authorities to introduce effective approaches to dealing with indiscipline in schools.
The Scottish Government provides funding of £500,000 per annum to fund the Positive Behaviours Team who deliver free training and advice to schools in a range of practices which improve relationships and promote positive behaviour.
