In this, language support in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) is essential for the student to improve quickly in the French language. From then on, the teacher's accompaniment should not stigmatize the newcomer.

However, it is essential to corroborate this confidence with concrete elements before anything else. In this sense, speaking with teachers who have this student in class to see if they have noticed behaviors similar to drug consumption (red eyes, drowsiness or on the contrary too much energy, etc.).

In fact, listening to a delegate who mentions a phenomenon such as drug use among a student legitimizes the responsibility of the student, all the more so if he is a delegate. However, limits exist.
