On the 19th of the month, the Education consultants will be trained by the scientific team of “Kallipolis” and the following week, September 24-26, the principals of the schools will be informed by OKANA whose team will then inform teachers, parents, students. We will all “recruit” and work together for prevention”.
Mrs. Pierri emphasizes that it is essential to train the educational world, so that they can identify behaviors and movements that indicate that something is happening and be able to act appropriately. “This matter is not a matter of indifference and we all have a responsibility and we should take it on,” he emphasizes.
Anna Mastorakou
In the common front against addictions, the Deputy Governor of Health, Anna Mastorakou, actively participates. “We collaborated with Ms. Pierri and the director of Primary Education, Mr. Kladis, and we are forgetting the implementation of a more systematic and expanded information and awareness program not only for drugs, but for all modern challenges. “Kallipolis” has an essential role in this. We give special importance to the awareness of teachers, so that they can detect when something is happening.”
THE RESPONSIBILITIES
To our question if responsibilities were found among the teachers of the school complex, where the trafficking took place, the director of education answered us: “As the Education administration, during the period when the event broke out, we operated in support of the schools. What came first was the management of the crisis. You don’t deal with the management of the crisis by causing a second crisis, because that would break up the school communities.” She informs that “a disciplinary procedure was followed. We requested written explanations from the managers. What they replied to us is that they had not realized the fact. From then on, the Police have been involved, to which we were called and all those involved testified. If responsibilities arise for teachers, be sure that they will be paid.”
