| The Goals of Drugs Education in Schools and Support Systems for Drug Abuse Prevention |
As a matter of course, school teachers should pay close attention to students’ words and deeds
language and behaviour. Through the use of various kinds of literature and audio visual material,
students should be supplied with the relevant information about drugs and the harm they can do
to the body. The highlighting of social problems caused by illegal drug use such as violence,
accidents or other unfortunate incidents is another useful teaching tool. In general, the goals of
schools drug education are as follows: |
  | Enhance students' knowledge of proper drug use and drug abuse. |
| Recognise the influence of drugs on physical and mental health. |
| Nurture attitudes towards proper drug use and the avoidance of drug abuse. |
| Nurture or assist students in tackling the problem of drug abuse. |
| Nurture the attitude towards an active student life, thus resisting the lure of illicit drugs. |
| Enhance students" ability to cope with the pressures of schoolwork, thus avoiding the choice of drugs as an escape method. |
| Nurture students' ability to maintain a calm attitude when dealing with problems. |
| Nurture problem solving and ways to resist peer pressure to take drugs. |
| Proper knowledge of laws regarding drug abuse. |
| Understand organisations providing drug abuse prevention, guidance and information and their functions. |
When a student is found to have a unusual expression and abnormal manner, the situation
should be investigated further in coordination with a guidance councilor. The parents shall be
kept in close contact the student come under extra supervision from the time the discovery is
made. Where the student already exhibits signs of drug abuse behavior, the local health authority
(medical body) shall be contacted and assisted in rehabilitation treatment. Moral support shall be
given to the student and a report made to police authorities to investigate the source of the drugs.
The Executive Yuan Department of Health has appointed 147 clinics to carry out drug addiction
treatment, whose names, addresses and contact telephone numbers details are as for medical
organizations carrying out drug addiction treatment. For guidance or questions related to drug
