« on: May 19, 2024, 11:34:06 PM »As long as the initiative is taken nationally on any particular subject then it is definitely possible for that nation to acquire as much knowledge as possible on that subject. The prevalence of gambling has gradually increased and now if children are given an idea about this issue in schools especially its bad aspects are well explained to them then surely this education will be very useful for them when they rush towards gambling in the future. They can keep them free from addiction.If it is a sub-topic in another subject like social studies or sociology then it is only the disadvantages will be taught and not the gambling itself. It is better to tell them the bad side of gambling from the primary school so that when they are in the college level they would have have already known the important of not participating in gambling. The way drug addiction is taught in schools, gambling addiction should also be taught in schools so that they would be well grounded with the knowledge of gambling addiction.I have not heard in a country that gambling is in their educational curriculum and I don't think that is even good to add. Gambling is not something you advise someone to do e even though the government permits people to gamble in the country. Gambling empty people's accounts so telling people to gamble is not even good but you can only allow it to exist so those who interested can have fun with it and not taking it to the education sector.Yes gambling has not been specified in the textbooks of any country so far that they have to be taught. I think there is no need to teach the students about gambling from primary to high school. If they get knowledge about gambling at this time, I think they will have a lot of reading difficulties and they will be attracted to gambling and become addicted to gambling. There is a certain age for gambling maybe university or later people will teach you about gambling I don't think gambling should ever be taught. Especially from primary to high school I never support textbooks to learn about gambling during this period because this period is the most important age for students to learn. If the students are addicted at this growing age, their life is completely ruined.
