Busan Office of Education Strengthens Instructor Competencies for Harmful Drug Misuse Prevention Education

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education conducted a training program to enhance the capabilities of professional instructors from the 15th to the 17th to create schools safe from harmful substances such as narcotics.

This training aims to share standardized educational content before professional instructors lecture students and to increase expertise by receiving specialized education from narcotics experts.

The main contents of this training include ▲ guidance on educational materials developed together with on-site teachers ▲ current status of youth narcotics use and crime ▲ social and psychological harms of youth drug use and counseling.

A professional instructor specializing in harmful substance abuse prevention education is conducting a capacity-building training session.

In February, Busan Metropolitan Office of Education selected 53 professional instructors for harmful substance misuse prevention education, the first nationwide. They also required each school to establish a narcotics prevention education plan and supported professional instructors twice a year per school so that all students can receive narcotics prevention education.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “We will implement prevention education tailored to students' developmental stages so that our children can grow their dreams healthily without being exposed to harmful substances.”
