PANJIM: Responding to the escalating challenge of substance abuse within educational settings, the Goa State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (GSCPCR) has unveiled the Substance Abuse Policy for Schools 2024.
“This policy marks a transformative step towards nurturing the hearts and minds of our young generation. It’s about creating a sanctuary where education and well-being go hand in hand, guiding our students towards a future replete with opportunities and devoid of the shadows cast by substance abuse,” GSCPCR Chairperson Peter F Borges said.
The policy emphasizes the crucial role of collaboration among students, educators, and parents, underscoring the shared responsibility in cultivating a drug-free educational environment and a supportive and vigilant community focused on the student’s well-being, all-round growth and prevention of substance abuse.
