Sex education should be provided to the students

It is necessary that we should provide sex education to the students of high school and higher secondary school. In our society, it is not a good thing to talk about sex to teenagers. Sex education provides the right information to the youth and removes the myths and misconceptions about sex-related issues.

NCERT has already included this chapter for the students of biology. But most of the teachers do not teach this chapter. Sometimes we hesitate to explain the topic since our culture do not permit us to do so.

Respected members, please share your opinion about this issue. Do you agree or not?

Sex education is a part curriculum for students in many countries. Research conducted by some institutions in the US and other countries says that sex education programs help students develop healthy relationships. These programs will help with the reduction in sexual activity, sexual risk behaviours, and sexually transmitted infections. These programs also help students know the risks that are involved in sex. So students may not get interested in these activities.
It is always beneficial to teach sex education in higher secondary classes. Sex is also a biological need and how to face safe sex and how to keep our health are to be explained to these students so that they will never show undue interest in sex. As mentioned by the author NCERT has already included some lessons on this subject and it will further include in the coming days.

In India discussing sex in any form is considered as taboos due to orthodox nature of the people. They opine that with our indulgence in the discussion of this topic will not be a healthy discussion since the other party might not appreciate our healthy intentions behind our initiatives.
If NCERT is to take some positive step in this direction, it will certainly help help them to know many diseases related to sexual diseases which might develop due to their ignorance.
Alerting them at the right time is our genuine duty.
In that sense, the advocacy of the author for the sex education is not a bad idea and must be implemented.

I think this is a very important thread in the present social scenario. It is very important to provide students a scientific and gradual sex education. I also feel that sex education should commence when the students are in VIth or VIIth standard, i.e. the time they reach puberty and experience physical changes in their body. The students also start learning about reproduction and reproductive organs in Biology when they reach the VIIth standard. So, sex education must begin at that stage.
Further, I must say that before the students, the teachers (at least some of them) from every school must get proper training on how to systematically and scientifically sensitize students on this sensitive subject.
Personally, I never had opportunity to get sex education in school/college/universities. We used to receive information from seniors or fellow students on this subject, which were always unscientific.

Due to our cultural and social setup, sex education was considered a no-no in our education system and due to that it got introduced in schools hesitantly. We must understand that if we don't educate the students about the matters related to sex and sexual behaviour then they would anyway know about it and if they learn it in a wrong way then it might adversely affect their personality development and they might get some complexes in them which would be detrimental to their healthy growth in their lives.
So there is some acute importance of sex education and as other members have also expressed their views, the best time is when the students are in their class VII or VIII level.
In many developed countries sex education is a part of the syllabus in the schools and is not a taboo matter anymore.
