Abstract
Drug abuse has become a public health issue throughout the world as well as in South
Africa. Drug abuse amongst students has serious consequences to the student. The
purpose of the study was to develop an outline for an educators’ in-service training
programme at a college to manage student drug abuse. A quantitative descriptive
design was used in the research. Using the census sampling method, the entire
population (N=337) was included in the study, and 186 (55.1%) respondents return
the online completed questionnaires. Data were collected by means of a web-based
developed questionnaire. The International Business Machines (IBM), Statistics
Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 23 programme and Microsoft Excel were
used to analyse the data. The results showed the training needs of educators at a
college regarding the management of students’ drug abuse and suggestions for an
outline for an in-service training programme for educators at a college to manage
students’ drug abuse were made. Developing an outline for an educator’s in-service
training programme on the management of student drug abuse could assist with the
development of an in-service training programme for educators
