Behaviour in schools 'improving'

Nov 23 2009

Pupils' behaviour in Scottish schools is "improving", according to a survey of teachers.

About 90% of teachers said all or most pupils are generally well behaved around schools, reflecting "positive" changes since the last survey three years ago.

Schools minister Keith Brown said: "Across Scotland, schools and local authorities are working hard to improve the behaviour of pupils and this research highlights the many effective approaches taken to promote positive behaviour."
