(HBO) - In recent years, the management of the Hoa Binh ethnic boarding high school has worked to build a "safe, non-drug school" model with upbeat outcomes recorded. The school houses 672 students, of which 556 live on the premises.
The school has organised education campaigns to raise students’ awareness
on drug-related laws and legal regulation in various forms such as short play contests,
talks with police officers, and distribution of leaflets, newspapers and books.
Consultations for groups of students or individual were held to help students deal
with their daily problems, such as choosing their future careers, life skills,
reproductive health and self protection in dangerous situations. The consultant
team conducted 13 consultations for groups and 12 others for individuals during
the 2017 – 2018 school year. Students can talk face to face with the
consultants at school or seek advice via messages, phone calls and social
network. Consultation contents are kept confidential by the team.
A
group of students are in a psychological consultation on school violence and
drug prevention and control.
The school maintains the operation of its student-led security and
monitoring teams to keep track of the number of students participating in classes
and other activities at school, and provide information for the management
boards of the school.
The school has also installed 77 cameras around the facility, in
each building and each classroom to ensure security and safety for students.
The school keeps close contact with the local police to update on addicts
living in the area, especially near the school with a view to preventing
students from being enticed by them.
It was honoured as a "safe school without drug” for 2011 – 2016 by
the Hoa Binh People’s Committee.
