Learners are still exposed to alcohol and drug abuse despite government efforts to keep learning institutions safe.
It is emerging that the fight to protect schools and learners from alcohol and drug abuse could be far from over, as the push to eliminate bars, wine and spirits shops, and entertainment joints near institutions of learning is facing challenges.
A recent audit by the Ministry of Education, during a mapping exercise, established that around 2,252 schools were being affected by the sale and consumption of alcohol.
Moreover, the drinking establishments are located about 300 metres from the basic learning institutions.
