INTRODUCTION
Francisco Oringo Sr. Elementary School offers “preventive treatment” on
drugs and alcohol through education. We are committed to helping the pupils stop
addiction before it begins, and it is for this reason that the teaching staffs tackle the
issue before it becomes a problem through different programs activities and with
the partnership of Local Government Unit (LGU) and Philippine National Police
(PNP).
Why is drug education so important to have in schools?
Drug education programs lower the percentage of school-aged children
abusing drugs and alcohol. The importance of this cannot be understated, because
it’s been found that young people who have abused drugs early in life are more
likely to become addicted than those introduced to drug use after the age of 21.
Kids who have received prevention messages early on in life are
significantly less likely to do drugs than those who have not received such
messages.
As an additional note, kids with parents who are involved in educating the
child about drugs, have dinners with their children, and have shown that they
disapprove of drug abuse are less likely to abuse drugs. In fact, just eating dinner
and talking with your child five to seven nights a week lowers the chances of the
child abusing drugs.
Honestly, the most effective drug education is where the parents and school
teachers are both working together. showing they care and actively communicating
with the child on a regular basis. This is the best way to prevent future drug
addiction. Additionally, it helps the child see that if they become entangled in
drugs, there are people who care enough to help them and won’t support and
enable their harmful habit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
All these accomplishments were influenced by the commitment of the entire
staff including the school principal, Ma. Angelica E. Figueroa and some
government officials who have committed to make things happen even amidst of
some difficulties.
