Did you know that there are several factors that can contribute to an increase in learners abusing substances in schools? Six of these factors include: 1. Peer pressure: Friends and classmates can influence students to experiment with drugs or alcohol, making it more likely for them to engage in substance abuse. 2. Stress and academic pressure: Excessive stress, high expectations, and intense academic pressure can lead students to seek relief or escape through substance use. 3. Family background: Students who come from homes where substance abuse is prevalent may be more prone to engaging in similar behaviors, as they may view it as a norm or coping mechanism. 4. Lack of supervision: Limited adult supervision, both at home and in school, can create an environment where students have greater opportunities to engage in substance abuse. 5. Accessibility of substances: Easy access to drugs or alcohol, either through friends, family, or even within school premises, can make it tempting for students to experiment with substances. 6. Lack of knowledge and awareness: Insufficient education and awareness programs about the risks and consequences of substance abuse can contribute to a lack of understanding among students, making them more susceptible to engaging in such behaviors. It's important for educators, parents, and society to address these factors and provide preventative measures and support systems to help reduce substance abuse among learners in schools.
