Drug education is necesary in the Education system to keep youngsters aware of the effects and dangers of drug use and abuse. Furthermore, there are efforts by the government through the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to promote Drug Education in educational institutions.

The criminal justice system in Jamaica is very corrupt and it has lost the war on illict drugs. When police officers sell dope to put their kids through school you know the system is in deep trouble. They are attempting to make reforms and throwing a lot of money behind it but somehow I feel they still lack the political will to do anything of note that will result in significant change.

Actually, yes I do. I took a class on drugs and drug dependency years ago, and I was really stunned at how many problems are caused by alcohol, yet it's legal. It can't be just a health issue, or cigarettes would be illegal, too. It's all politics.....

I don't think there is much drug use in the upper and middle classes of India, but there is a huge drug problem since half of the population lives in poverty. Apparently hashish and homemade brews of pot and stuff are available everywhere...\n\n  Perhaps you are also thinking of Iran where believe or not about a quarter of the population is addicted to herione.

Maybe some parents believe that if they don't know about it then they won't try it. But I think that some parents are acting naive regarding this idea. It's better to educate kids (well) about drugs and alcohol coupled with parents talking to their kids as well about it. We can't leave the responsibility solely with the school. The school should also support the "parenting" of these kids since the do spend a considerable amount of time in the school with their peers. It's a balancing act and as parents we can just hope and pray that we brought them up well.

Citizenship education seeks to develop awareness in patriotism and the rights and obligations of citizens of a nation. It is derived from your basic social studies. It tells you what you need to do for your country and society and also what the state and society owes you. It may state the basic fundamental and constitutional rights a person is entitled to. Overall, it is a subject which if propagated well in your country Nigeria, will help to eradicate the corruption and fraud that u are known for.

Absolutely not. It would be a huge waste of money. First, it wouldn't really limit the amount of drug usage, just increase the amount of truancies. Second, it would cost a MASSIVE amount of money. There are an awful lot of kids, and you'd have to test all of them at least once a month to have reasonably accurate results. Finally, there's just no point. Drugs can be bad, but the majority of people who do drugs do not end up dead or killing someone or on and on. What would be the consequences of failing the tests? Being kicked out of school? Because that's certainly the way to solve drug problems... the kids who are on drugs are the ones who need education the most. Being sent to jail? How exactly can you force people to submit to tests like that without violating the 4th-6th amendments?

I don't think anybody learns anything in high school anymore. It's not really there to educate nowadays; it's just a system set in place to keep teenage kids from wandering the streets during the day - the government's way to try to cut down on vandalism and crime.

Just to expand on some on previous answers.\n\nYour best option is to contact either a drug/alcohol counseling center or the local branch of the National Council on Alcoholism and Addiction and ask for an accredited course. These agencies focus on education, which is what you are requesting. \n\nYour local court or probation office is likely to have contact numbers for either these agencies or a list of some courses that the court recognizes.\n\nAA has a different mission statement and is an all volunteer organization. It does not focus on education, but peer-to-peer support for recovery from alcoholism. Any particular individual may or may not be able to direct you to an "alcohol awareness course" but don't count on it.

A university is better...More drugs and sex...

No it's probably time for a rational review of drug laws. But don't count on our politicians to propose changes. They can't be seen as "soft on crime". Better to build more jails and get reelected than to solve our society's problems.

YES! The trend in Europe and America--for the last 100 years, or so-- is toward more acceptance of differing lifestyles. I'm old enough to remember segregation. And drug use was totally non-accepted back in the 1950s.

yeah it is. but you know what kinda reputation the few bad crooks in nigeria have given to the whole country. sure, it's unfair to judge a whole country based on what a few idiots are doing, but that is the reality out there. still, not all people fall into the stereotyping trap, and when they get to know you better they'll come to see your true colors eventually.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the role of chemistry in the national development of Nigeria is essential to their economic and agricultural industries, as well as medical research, and treatment.  \n\nFor more explicit information about this topic, please check my sources listed below.\n\nI hope you find what you're looking for.
