Pol. Lt. Gen. Permpoon Chidchob, the Minister of Education, emphasized the government’s serious concern regarding the drug problem affecting children during the award ceremony for outstanding achievements in education. He raised issues regarding the effectiveness of current drug suppression efforts, suggesting that further collaboration among all sectors is necessary to find the root causes of the ongoing issue. One of his key points is to build immunity against drug use in children from an early age.
He stressed the need to instill an understanding of the dangers of drugs in children, urging them to view drugs as filthy and undesirable, similar to waste. He pointed out that many children experiment with drugs simply because they perceive it as “cool.” In addition to educating children against drug use, he advocated for teaching them the importance of unity and cooperation in society to promote a better community. He also highlighted the importance of respecting institutions, especially the monarchy, which he described as the country’s fundamental pillar. He cited recent examples of royal support during crises as a reminder of the monarchy’s dedication to the well-being of the people.
