Subsequently the guidelines for the adoption of random drug testing
for the personnel of both teaching and non-teaching on DepEd and certainly students, are wrapped-up as Education Secretary Leonor Briones announced that the drug testing will take place starting next month of the School Year (SY) 2017-2018.
“We are on the preventive side, not on the enforcement side… the drug testing is preventive not punitive”-said by Leanor Briones (DepEd Secretary)
Inexorable, just looking on the current preparations. The random
drug testing will be mandatory for the DepEd workforces and discretionary for students as parents will be noticed about the regulations through a regular or special general assembly of parent- teacher conference. To guarantee the confidentiality of the procedure, “DepEd will not identify who is going to be included in the sample as well as specific names of those who will be identified as drug users”- said by briones.
The foremost aspiration of the DepEd and DOH is to protect the
future generations of leader to the enslavement of illegal drugs. The triumph would be assumed, if all students and teachers in nation will liaise. For there would be no exemption, all are on the same hook. The assessing won’t bring physical impairment for each and every one. However for those people that will mark the analysis as positive, the reprimand is yet to be known.
