The Government's spending another $31 million to install walls in more than 600 classrooms, across almost 90 schools. 

Students at one secondary school can face up to 50 disruptions in less than half an hour in the open-plan rooms.

She says the idea came from thinking that students needed to be independent, making inquiries, and sitting where they're comfortable.
