On the enhancement and effectiveness of the inclusion of drug prevention and control in the intermediate and secondary school curricula this term paper centers. Positive facets as well as negative aspects are tackled to provide a clear picture as to how the program helps in the elimination of drug abuse and/or addiction among the youth.

The NDEP was first known as the Comprehensive School-Based Drug Abuse Prevention Program.

The Program, due to lack of funds, did not create much impact. In 1995, interest in the NDEP was revived through Memorandum Order 388 which called for the "Institutionalization of the NDEP in All Schools."
