Education Ministry officials also said that the teachers have always been told about the harm of narcotics to the students, but they still trying to include the narcotics as a subject in the education curriculum.
The purpose of the billboards that have been installed in schools was to inform the public about drug addiction and drug abuse, as well as the law on the fight against drugs.
