WNRPC and partners run a peace education push [LIST] [*]The Western North Regional Peace Council teamed up with Nsawora Senior High School and the National Commission for Civic Education to put this programme together. [*]More than 300 students and teaching staff went through the sensitisation session. [*]Opioid abuse, violence prevention, and constitutional rights under the 1992 Constitution were the three big topics on the table. [/LIST] Acting Executive Secretary Boduwah raises the alarm [LIST] [*]Elizabeth Boduwah flagged growing drug misuse among young people in the region as a serious and worsening problem. [*]Opioid use specifically is eating into students' health, academic performance, and future prospects, according to her. [*]Boduwah called for beefed-up guidance and counselling services in schools to tackle the issue head-on. [*]Parents, educators, and security authorities all need to get coordinated, she argued, to keep learning environments safe and peaceful. [/LIST] NCCE's Dramani Sam pushes civic values hard [LIST] [*]Regional Director Dramani Sam urged students to build patriotism, tolerance, and discipline into their everyday lives.
