Former soldiers should retrain as teachers and teach pupils in inner
city schools where discipline is a problem, a thinktank has stated.

The Centre for Policy Studies has stated in a new report that the UK
should develop a system like the Troops to Teachers scheme in the US
to help address the issue of poor behaviour in inner-city schools.

Having ex-soldiers as teachers would offer a number of benefits, the
thinktank says, giving pupils a more rigid discipline structure and
providing ex-servicemen with meaningful employment.

Lord Guthrie writes in the foreword to the report that placing ex-
servicemen in schools is a 'possible answer' to the problems of
increasing violence in schools and inner-city communities.

'It will provide youths with role models who understand discipline and
self-restraint at the time in their lives when they need it most,' he
wrote.

Further to this Lord Guthrie points out that such a scheme has already
seen success in the US and would work well in the UK.

The correct answer is to pay engineers more than footballers.
