Trends of drug abuse among school students have decreased significantly; only a few cases have been reported within the past years. The complex measures taken by the Ministry as a part of the safe school concept have clearly resulted in a positive outcome.

Despite this progress, drug abuse remains one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed among students; becuse of this, the Ministry is committed to continue working with other respective agencies and institutions to prevent crime and drug abuse among youth.
