In the mountainous district of Dakrong, the work of PCMT in schools has been given special attention with many creative ways, suitable to the characteristics of the locality. Accordingly, schools have organized extensive dissemination to cadres, teachers, staff, students and parents about the plans and directives of all levels on PCMT work. In particular, schools have focused on close coordination between families, schools and society in the work of preventing and combating crimes and drug abuse.

The dissemination of the 2021 Law on Drug Prevention and Control and documents guiding the implementation of the law is carried out flexibly, creatively, and in accordance with the conditions of each school. Many schools have used visual and vivid forms of propaganda such as: through the flag-raising ceremony at the beginning of the week, the extracurricular activity "Quang Tri Youth Say No to School Drugs", the website and Facebook page of the Youth Union.
