Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Program

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program (DARE) is being enhanced to complement the implementation of NDEP. DARE offers a variety of activity-oriented techniques which are designed to encourage student-generated responses to problem-solving situations, specifically on drug abuse. This is being implemented in collaboration with the Philippine National Police.

Since 2010 to 2012, 156 DARE Police Officers have been trained and have already conducted classroom teaching among grades five and six pupils in various public elementary schools.
