Each pupil should receive a broad and balanced curriculum which: promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of the society and prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. (Section 351, Education Act, 1996)
Drug education is part of this curriculum. There is a statutory requirement for drug education in the National Curriculum Science Order, 2000 (see www.nc.uk.net)
Pupils say they want: (Section 2.2 Drugs: Guidance for schools)
1. Drug education to be interesting, involving drama, true-life stories and external contributors.
2. To be taught by people who know what they are talking about.
3. As much information as possible, they do not want to be told just say no
4. To know the range of effects of drugs, including real dangers, and how to cope with an emergency.
5. To engage in discussion and debate.
The D.I.C.E. Programme recognizes the need for the real life impact within drug education.
Real life stories of young people whose lives have been destroyed by drugs should play a part in teaching and learning approaches (section 2.10 Drugs: Guidance for schools)
