school drug education project
I refer to the answer given to question without notice 423 asked yesterday about the school drug education project. (1) What funding has been allocated to the project in the forward estimates for 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09? (2) How many Western Australian schools have actively incorporated the project into their school curriculum? (3) Of those schools, how many are - (a) government primary schools; and (b) government secondary schools? (4) Of those schools not participating, are the remaining schools participating in an alternative drug education program; if so, what are these alternative programs; and, if not, why not? Hon SUE ELLERY

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The school drug education project has a three-year service agreement and is funded at $900 000 per annum for the periods 2004-05 and 2006-07. All non-government organisation contracts are subject to review at the completion of the funded period. (2) An independent evaluation, conducted by Curtin University of Technology, showed that 95 per cent of schools that participated in professional development run by the school drug education project had implemented a drug education curriculum. A total of 70 per cent of schools have engaged in the program to date. (3) Of the 70 per cent of schools - or 713 - that have engaged in the program to date, 345 were government primary schools and 185 were government secondary schools. (4) This information is not available. Schools in Western Australia determine the type of program they choose to meet their health education outcomes. Information about drug education programs is collected only from schools that participate in the school drug education project.
