The cabinet is, this month, scheduled to get the final report of the inter-ministerial technical team which was set up to address violence and indiscipline in schools.
An analysis of the data on school violence and indiscipline has identified sixteen secondary schools that have the highest rates of school violence.
At least seven of these schools exhibited high percentage of form one students who scored under thirty percent in the Secondary Entrance Assessment, high levels of indiscipline, high absenteeism and low levels of SEA achievements.
Confirmation of this comes from Acting Leader of Government Business in the Senate, Paula Gopee Scoon.
On Monday, Minister Gopee Scoon, said the technical team held three meetings in February, March and April this year.
