Education is an amalgam of many aspirations for which one must find sociological as well as economical explanation. We must accept the universal truth that the fate of any nation is made in its schools.
Efficiency in education is measured by the quality of teaching-learning process and the quality of the end product. The quality of end product in a school depends on various factors. Discipline is one of them.
The old concept of discipline was concerned with maintaining order. But, with time, the concept of discipline also changed. It is no more identified with orderly behaviour in classroom and other school activities
because outward show of order can also be maintained by force or fear.
That is not real discipline. Real discipline implies persuasion whereas order implies compulsion. It is, therefore, the school discipline should be the result of a gradual building-up of habits of self-control and co-operation.
