Source : Drug education in schools

The Drug Education in Schools, 2000/01 survey was published by the Scottish Executive Education Department in July 2001.

In January 2001, local authorities in Scotland were asked to collect information on the drug education provided by all of the schools under their control. Each school was required to give details of whether they provided drug education, what type of drug education they provided and also their procedures for managing incidents of drug misuse and tobacco smoking. Around the same time, all other schools in Scotland (i.e. independent, grant-aided and opted-out schools) were also asked to provide similar details of their drug education policies and procedures. Responses were obtained from 99 per cent of local authority schools and 87 per cent of other schools.
