Govt. considering anti-drugs awareness topics in school curriculum: Minister

General Education Minister V. Sivankutty has said that the government is considering the inclusion of anti-narcotics awareness topics in the school curriculum.

Presiding over the State-level inauguration of the ‘No To Drugs’ campaign at the SMV School on Thursday, Mr. Sivankutty said the curriculum committee would explore the proposal in detail before taking a final call. He added that the anti-narcotics activities at schools would be intensified by delegating various responsibilities to teachers and students.

He added that sensitisation drive would focus on schools and colleges since the racketeers mostly targeted youngsters. Director of General Education Jeevan Babu K. was present.
