Dear students and respected parents!
One of the most serious problems putting our society at risk today is the spread of drugs and narcotic substances — criminal activities that pose a grave threat to the health and future of our youth. In a time when vigilance is more important than ever, our foremost duty is to ensure that students grow not only academically, but also as morally, socially, and physically healthy, well-rounded individuals.
Drug addiction does not only harm personal life — it destroys families, breaks connections with friends and society, and even deprives young people of future opportunities. Every young person must understand the value of life and feel a sense of responsibility for their own health and intellectual development. Drug-related crimes are not only violations of the law, but also serious offenses that undermine human dignity.
Therefore, the administration and community of Nordic International University call on all students to:
Deeply understand all the dangers and risks associated with drugs and illegal substances
Build strong social ties with friends and family
Lead a healthy lifestyle and engage in sports regularly
Never hesitate to seek help when facing difficulties!
Dear parents!
It is essential that you always serve as supportive and guiding figures in your children’s lives. Not only encouraging them to seek knowledge, but also sharing life experience and showing the right path will help protect them from the severe consequences of drug abuse and criminal behavior.
Together, we can safeguard the future of our youth and contribute to maintaining a safe and healthy environment in our society. A single moment of neglect can cost a child their entire future…
Therefore, let us treat vigilance and responsibility as core values!
On behalf of Nordic International University, we call on every student, parent, teacher, and community member who cares about the future: protect your life, your health, and your future. Stay far away from drugs and narcotics!
Wishing you peace, health, and a prosperous life!
Sherzod Mustafakulov
Rector of Nordic International University
