Chonburi Gov. Khomsan
Ekachai launches the “One School, One Police Officer” program at
Cholrasadorn Aumrung School in Chonburi.
Gov. Khomsan Ekachai launched the “One School, One
Police Officer” program September 10 at Cholrasadorn Aumrung School in
Chonburi.
Abhisit Ruenjit, director of the Secondary Educational Service Area
Office 18, said the program is aimed at ridding schools of drug use and
preventing abuse by students on and off campus. The program also targets
pornography, gambling and fights.
So far, 155 administrators and teachers from 31 schools have been
honored for anti-drug work by the National Command Center for Drugs. For
the expanded program, police from Ban Phraew Station and the Thunyarak
Foundation have been brought in as speakers.
The teachers from each school - designed as the forensic, prevention and
administrative teachers - will join one police officer in each facility
to help solve the drugs and vices issue.
A key part of the program will see school administrators separate
“good,” “at risk” and “addicted” students into separate groups, with
activities organized for each to stop and prevent future drug use.
