What do you think of the drug-testing system?
Which official declared this drug testing to be the answer to the problem of under age kids taking drugs?
Students can refuse to give samples, will not be punished after failing, and questions have been raised about the tests' failure rate.
To add to that, every test will go to government laboratories for further testing. Aren't our government services already overstretched? surely this will significantly increase costs as specialists are required?
Most baffling of all to me is that students can refuse testing even after their parents give written consent.
There should be an incentive for a student to be co-operative in the drug tests - a certificate proving they have gone through the Hong Kong government schools drug-testing scheme.
Those refusing even one test or parents not having conformed to the written approval of testing will not achieve that certificate immediately.
