प्रश्न
Is sex education necessary in schools? Why?
उत्तर
Yes, sex education is necessary in school. The introduction of sex education in school encourages the provision of the right or correct information to young people to discourage children from believing in myths & having misconceptions about sex-related aspects. Proper information about reproductive organs, safe & hygienic sexual practices, STDs, etc., would help people, those in the adolescent age group, to lead a healthy reproductive life. In many countries, sexual education raises much contentious debate. Chief among the controversial points is whether covering child sexuality is valuable or detrimental, the use of birth control such as condoms and hormonal contraception, and the impact of such use on pregnancy, outside marriage, teenage pregnancy, and the transmission of STDs. Increasing support for abstinence-only sex education by conservative groups has been one of the primary causes of the controversies.
