Drug use in schools is increasing. 20% of high school students report that they have received offers to buy. Authorities are intensifying controls, but the impact of prevention campaigns remains low.

Drug use in schools is becoming an increasingly serious problem, with alarming data showing that over 20% of high school students have been approached with drug offers. Low prices and ease of procurement contribute to the consumption rate. A father reported how his son was approached by older peers who offered illegal substances at accessible prices. Recently, a case at the Goethe German College in Bucharest, where a teenager was found unconscious, brought the issue back to the forefront. Authorities are announcing increased controls around schools, including with specially trained dogs, but half of high school students believe that prevention campaigns are not effective. Statistics show that one in five students has been approached with drug offers, and 22% say they can buy illegal substances from schools. The phenomenon continues to grow, and prevention measures remain insufficient.
