DRUG ABUSE EDUCATION WORKSHOP FOR N.T. TEACHERS ******
ABOUT 180 TEACHERS FROM MORE THAN 100 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE NEW TERRITORIES RECENTLY ATTENDED A DRUG ABUSE EDUCATION WORKSHOP HELD AT THE GRANTHAM COLLEGE OF EDUCATION. THIS IS THE LATEST OF A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS ORGANISED FOR TEACHERS OF PUPILS IN THE 10-15 AGE GROUP.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY, THE AIM OF THESE WORKSHOPS IS TO ACQUAINT TEACHERS WITH THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE DRUG PROBLEM IN HONG KONG, TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS TO EXCHANGE VIEWS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THEIR OWN DISTRICTS, AND TO EXPLORE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF EDUCATING PUPILS AGAINST DRUG ABUSE,+
THE WORKSHOPS, CONDUCTED BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN CO- OPERATION WITH THE EDUCATION AND PUBLICITY SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE ACTION COMMITTEE AGAINST NARCOTICS, WERE WELL ATTENDED, HE SAID.
DURING THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS, TEACHERS AND HEADS OF NEARLY ALL SCHOOLS IN HONG KONG, KOWLOON AND THE NEW TERRITORIES TOOK PART IN THE WORKSHOPS, WHICH FOLLOWED THE SYMPOSIUM ON DRUG ABUSE IN FEBRUARY LAST YEAR.
