ROLE OF TEACHERS IN THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DRUG ABUSE

1. ROLE OF TEACHERS IN THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DRUG ABUSE

2. Drug Abuse is one of the major problems that our society is facing today. . The World Drug Report 2023 published by UN Office on Drugs and Crime highlighted that one in every 17 people worldwide, aged 15-64, used drugs in 2021. According to the Statistics from the Dangerous Drug Board from 2022, considering the age at first drug use, forty-one percent (41%) belong to ages 15-19 years old.

3. Us, Teachers… can play a significant role in the prevention of drug abuse because we spend much time with the learners.

4. Article IV of RA 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, emphasizes the participation of the Teachers in the preventive measures against drug abuse. From a teacher’s perspective, the substance abuse may manifest itself in many ways, such as behavioural problems and poor academic performance.

5. Teachers must acknowledge that they play a major role in the prevention of drug abuse in our society. Teachers can be role models for students and dissuade them from abusing drugs. This is all more important if the learners do not have supportive families to guide them.

6. Learners may have to contend with the pressures associated with experimentation and with life in a complex and demanding society. Substance abuse is basically a mechanism to cope with or escape from feelings of insecurity.
