1. INTRODUCTION
Discipline in schools is a critical issue that impacts not only the academic achievement
of students but also the overall functioning and ethos of educational institutions.
Across the globe, schools are grappling with various discipline-related challenges,
ranging from minor disruptions in the classroom to severe forms of violence and
misconduct. The importance of maintaining discipline is well-documented, as it
ensures a conducive learning environment, fosters positive student-teacher
relationships, and supports the holistic development of learners. However, the means
of addressing disciplinary issues are widely debated, and the solutions offered vary
greatly across different contexts.
The purpose of this literature review is to critically examine global, continental, and
local perspectives on the issue of school discipline, with the aim of identifying effective
strategies to address it. This review seeks to highlight the origins, causes, and effects

answer the following research questions: What are the major causes of disciplinary
issues in schools? How do these causes differ across global, continental, and local
contexts? What solutions have been proposed to address these issues, and how
effective are they?
