Two Universities To Offer Post-grad Programme On Drug Addiction

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- Two public universities will offer a special programme dealing with alcohol and drug addiction next year, Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Shafie Mohd Salleh said.
He said the special programme, known as SPADA (Speciality Programme in Alcohol and Drug Addiction), would be conducted at Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia (KUIM) and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).
He said the programme would only be offered to people directly involved in counselling, including those at drug rehabilitation centres, welfare officers and social workers.
The first intake of students for the post-graduate programme would be in the July session next year, he told reporters after a ceremony to proclaim Datin Seri Endon Mahmood as the first Open University Malaysia Chancellor during the university's inaugural convocation here.
