NACOC takes drug education campaign to Diabene SHS
The Western Regional Command of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has launched a drug education and sensitisation campaign targeting newly admitted Senior High School (SHS) students to raise awareness of the dangers of drug use.
The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has initiated a drug education campaign at Diabene Senior High School (SHS), targeting incoming students to raise awareness of the dangers associated with drug use. The program's objective is to provide students with accurate information to make informed decisions as they navigate the challenges of senior high school academically and socially.
In line with this effort, the Commission spoke with students at Diabene SHS, educating them about the risks of drug abuse, the impact of peer pressure, and the significance of preserving their health, educational opportunities, and future prospects.
The NACOC is concentrating its efforts on students at the onset of their SHS journey, acknowledging the opportunity this stage presents to foster resilience against negative influences and promote healthy habits. This educational initiative is part of NACOC's preventive strategy in combating substance abuse, emphasizing the importance of equipping young individuals with knowledge before they face the potential negative consequences of drug use.
The Western Regional Command expresses its plan to extend the sensitization exercise to other educational institutions across the region, encouraging school authorities and relevant stakeholders to contribute to creating a safer and healthier educational atmosphere.
