Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-The East Java National Education Commission (Komnasdik Jatim) together with UNESA held a national webinar with the theme "Healthy Millennials without Drugs Towards a Golden Indonesia" on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. The event was part of the commemoration of the 76th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia.
The event was attended by the Head of the East Java Education Office, Dr. Ir. Wahid Wahyudi, M.T., Head of East Java BNN Brigadier General Pol Drs. Mohamad Aris P., M.H., Head of Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of East Java, Dr. Nurul Huda, M.Pd., UNESA Chancellor Prof. Dr. H. Nurhasan, M.Kes and Kunjung Wahyudi, S.T., M.Sc., Chairman of the East Java National Education Commission.
In addition, it was also attended by Prof. Dr. Syriac
On that occasion, Prof. Dr. Suryanti, M.Pd explained about 'Inspiration for the Integration of Drug Prevention and Elementary School Curriculum'. He said that the biggest drug abuser was the workers, amounting to 77% of the total drug abuse.
It was also explained that drug prevention does not have to use an integrated and comprehensive-based approach. In other words, the government must cooperate with many parties and institutions to combat or minimize drug trafficking in the community, including educational institutions from basic to higher levels that play a vital role.
Muhammad Reza added that the curriculum is an important element in education. The curriculum must be designed to have a strong side in instilling anti-drug awareness to the nation's generation from an early age. In addition, a healthy and good family and environment greatly affect the growth and development of children. "By teaching children to exercise regularly to stay healthy, fit and positive, children will be farthest from drugs," he said.
Wahyudi's visit on that occasion called for the importance for all parties to be aware of the dangers of drugs. Eva said in a year there are 18 thousand people who die due to drug abuse. "This figure is worrying, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this country is in a state of drug emergency," he said.
According to him, the government and the community must join hands in overcoming it, as well as schools must be an effective forum in reducing drug trafficking and raising children's awareness from an early age about the dangers of drugs and illegal drugs.
He added that since early childhood education, children should have been informed about the dangers of drugs with strategies and approaches that are appropriate for their age. He explained that the dealers, apart from targeting adults, also target teenagers and children. In addition, if you look at the population and other factors, Indonesia is a potential market for drug trafficking. "The modus operandi of drug trafficking also continues to develop with more and more diverse media via the internet, therefore we must move actively," he said.
In line with that, Eki Susanto told the participants about the dangers of drug abuse. Eki also advised to stay away from drugs, because according to him it is a 'one way ticket' to damage to the body and even death. At the end of the session, M. Jhohan Awalludin said that young people should increase their positive activities so that they do not fall into the dangers of drugs. "The more they participate in positive activities, the better, they can join organizations and communities so that they can gain a lot of experience and be able to be useful to others," he said.
Dr. Ir. Wahid Wahyudi, M.T. We hope that this Covid-19 pandemic can be an opportunity for teenagers to forge themselves and focus on developing themselves. "Because there is more free time, it is hoped that teenagers can hone their skills and jump-start them to become Pancasila Students," he said. (wulidah/zam)
