According to an analysis of school exclusions placed in the parliamentary library over the summer recess by the Department for Schools, Children and Families, 2,000 pupils were permanently excluded and 40,000 temporarily excluded for drug and alcohol-related incidents during the past four years.
Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, is quoted by the paper saying:

Yesterday, a survey of half of England&#8217;s 150 local education authorities showed that the problem of bad behaviour started as soon as children joined reception classes.

A leading headteacher has backed a zero tolerance approach to the &#8220;evil&#8221; of drugs, warning that pupils must not be given a second chance if they are caught taking cannabis.
