Education Ministry says there’s no report of ‘strawberry quick’ drug in Jamaican schools

By Mishka Spence

The Education Ministry says it has not identified any incident of the ‘strawberry quick’ drug in Jamaican schools.

 

This follows the circulation of an image of the drug on social media, alongside claims that it was being distributed in Jamaican institutions.

 

In a statement today, the Education Ministry said it continues to actively monitor and work closely with law enforcement and school administrators to ensure the safety of students.

 

It urged parents and guardians to have open discussions with their children, about the dangers of accepting food or candy from unknown sources.

 

Meantime, portfolio minister Dana Morris Dixon said, despite there being no verified report of ‘strawberry quick’, schools should reinforce messages regarding food safety and report any suspicious activity immediately.
