The Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) will be collaborating with sectoral agencies, including the Ministry of Education, to tackle drug use in schools.
“We are working with the Ministry of Education and other agencies to sensitise and to develop a programme that allows us to go into various schools around the region to sensitize persons about the effects of narcotics,” Head of CANU, James Singh, told reporters on the sidelines of an event on Thursday.
“…It’s not only about working with the students but also working with the teachers. They must also be able to see the behavioural patterns of persons. That gives us a better idea if persons are on drugs or something else, so we can work with them also,” Singh added.
