Ruth Shinoda: Education Evaluation Centre Head on New Zealand students' behaviour becoming worse in the last two years

The behaviour of our kids in the classroom continues to be a problem.  New research from the Education Review Office shows disruptive behaviour has become worse over the past two years, despite New Zealand ranking among the worst in the OECD for the last 20.  A quarter of principals are seeing students physically harm others and steal property at least every day.  Education Evaluation Centre Head Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that there's evidence to show prevention helps.  She says there's great schools in the report who have clear expectations and consistent consequences to ensure behaviour doesn't escalate.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
