DepEd strengthens national drug education program in schools
BUTUAN CITY – The Department of Education (DepEd) through its Bureau of Learner Support Services reiterates its support in Strengthening the National Drug Education Program (NDEP) in schools with the school head fully responsible for its effective implementation.
Said order is pursuant to Section 43 of Article IV of the Republic Act No. 9165 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002.
The NDEP is a comprehensive educational program that provides for a holistic approach to the problem of drug abuse.
DepEd Memorandum No. 200 s. 2016 states that NDEP was designed to enable all sectors to work collaboratively with the school system as the core, thereby unifying all sectoral endeavors.
NDEP has five components: 1) curriculum instruction; 2) co-curricular and ancillary services; 3) teacher and staff development; 4) parent education and community outreach; and 5) research, monitoring, and evaluation. It is implemented in the schools to create awareness on the ill effects of abusing drugs and to develop among pupils and students’ positive behavior and life skills to resist drugs.
DepEd secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones has instructed regional directors and schools division superintendents to strengthen the implementation of the NDEP by establishing Barkada Kontra Droga Chapters in schools; intensifying anti-drug abuse information campaigns; supporting the activities planned by the designated regional and schools division NDEP coordinators; involving Parent-Teacher-Community Associations and pupil/student organizations in drug abuse Prevention Integrated in Scouting Kit (DISK); allocating funds for the replication of existing modules and teaching aides, and/or development of other supplementary instructional materials; and collaborating closely with local government units, other government units, and non-governmental organizations at the local level. ## (Fortunato Esma Caldoza, Jr. SST-III, ANHS Science Department)
