A new survey from the centre for independent studies suggests a third of lesson time is being lost to student misbehaviour in Australian classrooms. Teachers reported losing, on average, nine minutes per 30 minutes of teaching time. Researcher Blaise Joseph says the results are concerning.

00:01We did a nationally representative survey of a group of 400 Australian teachers, and
00:07we asked them how much time they lose to student misbehaviour.
00:11And on average, they said one third.
00:13We found consistency across the board.
00:15There is generally speaking a big behaviour problem in Australian schools.
00:19It's pretty similar in secondary and primary school.
00:21I think what we need to have is far more consistent routines and support across schools.
00:27So, within a school that you have some consistency in behaviour and expectations, so it doesn't
00:33fall to the individual teacher.
00:34We know in every school there's a few teachers who are considered to be the strict ones and
00:38have no problems.
00:39There are other teachers who always have more issues, and it's those teachers who we need
00:43to support.
00:44So, we need more consistency across schools to be able to ensure that there's expected
00:49behaviours that are clearly stated for all students and that they are consistently enforced.
00:53our students.
