Discipline

Discipline must be maintained in the school and the classroom to ensure that the educa-tion of learners proceeds without disruptive behaviour and offences. Its goal is to teach and lead learners to self discipline.

The disciplinary process must be expeditious, fair, just, corrective, consistent and educa-tive. Where possible the parents should be informed and involved in the correction of the learner’s behaviour. Learners should be protected from abuse by adults or other learners.

Restraint is the act of controlling the actions of learners when such actions may inflict

harm to others or to the learner, or violate the rights of other learners or educators. Edu-

cators may use reasonable measures where necessary to prevent a learner from harm-

ing him/herself or others.
