The goal of this program, which is a collaboration between the
Ministry of the Interior and the Narcotics Control Commission, is to provide
safer, healthier learning environments for all children.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has implemented a new daily
schedule in all pre-tertiary schools as part of this proactive approach.
Students will now recite a unique anti-drug statement right after the National
Anthem at every morning assembly." Leader: "Do not start it as a
greeting." Students: "To live in regret." This is a potent
call-and-response.
Minister Iddrisu stressed that the purpose of this ongoing
reminder is to enable students to make responsible decisions and safeguard
their future against the risks associated with substance usage.
The campaign will include widespread public education, school
sensitization, and improved collaborations with parents and community leaders
in addition to these daily recitations. To guarantee that our schools continue
to be secure environments for both academic and personal development, the
Ministry is urging all Ghanaians, especially educators and religious leaders,
to support this endeavor.
