As the academic session 2021/2022 has already kickstarted in Nepal, a prolonged health crisis induced by the coronavirus is likely to force schools to continue academic activities via virtual means including video-conferencing tools such as Zoom, Google Meet and MS Teams among others for an uncertain time. Despite the huge benefits of virtual platforms when it comes to redoubling learning possibilities through subsequent innovations, students’ disruptive behaviours have equally added another layer of complexities to school discipline amidst the pandemic. This requires urgent interventions from all the stakeholders including the educators, behaviour experts, teachers and parents in the education systems to identify efficient approaches in order to rid the educational atmosphere of such disruptive behaviours in stronger ways and sustain healthy educational practices.
