Classroom environment not only has been shown to affect student outcomes and attainment but is a prominent policy issue in a number of countries and regions. The actions of students within classrooms and the creation of a safe and productive learning environment are important for many schools and can be a challenging dimension of teachers’ work.

A good environment can lead the students to have a better learning
