The document discusses the National Drug Education Program (NDEP) in the Philippines. It provides background on laws related to drug abuse prevention like the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972 and 2002. The NDEP was developed to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach through schools. It has five components: (1) curriculum and instruction, (2) co-curricular activities, (3) staff training, (4) parent/community outreach, and (5) monitoring and research. The goal is to prevent drug abuse through developing values and life skills while strengthening collaboration between schools, parents, and organizations. The NDEP is managed through various administrative levels within the Department of Education.
