Narkomanijos prevencija rajonų centrų mokyklose

Narkotikų vartojimas Lietuvoje neturi senų tradicijų, bet narkomanija tampa grėsmingu socialiniu reiškiniu, ypač tarp jaunimo. Nors šiuo metu narkomanija laikoma didžiųjų Lietuvos miestų problema, tačiau akivaizdu, kad yra sąlygos ir galimybės šiam reiškiniui plisti į rajonų centrus bei juose esančias ugdymo įstaigas. Kovoti su narkomanija yra ne tik visų piliečių pareiga, bet ir vienas iš svarbiausių valstybės uždavinių. Norint išspręsti narkomanijos problemas, visų pirma būtina keisti plačiosios visuomenės požiūrį į šį reiškinį, šalinti priežastis, darančias įtaką narkomanijos plitimui tarp moksleivių ir tai reikia daryti organizuotai. Mokyklos vaidmuo bendroje šalies strategijoje – apsaugoti vaikus ir jaunimą nuo alkoholio, tabako, narkotinių medžiagų vartojimo ir asocialaus elgesio.
