BANN ON SEX EDUCATION
With 11 states already banned sex education and govt. denying to include sex education as fundamental right, it seems sex education is still off the charts. Now read this:
TODAY WITH 5.7 MILLION PEOPLE HIV POSITIVE INDIA IS THE SECOND LARGEST HUB OF DISEASE AFTER SOUTH AMERICA AND AMONG THESE 5.7 MILLION PEOPLE 40 PR CENT ARE WOMEN WHO HAVENT HEARD OF AIDS, ALL THIS CREATING A DANGEROUS COMBINATION OF LACK OF KNOWLADGE AND GREATOR SEXUAL ACTIVITY.AN INDIA TODAY MAGZINE SURVEY LAST YAER SHOWED ONE IN FOUR INDIAN WOMEN AGES 18 TO 30 IN 11 CITIES HAD SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE.WITH INCREASING TEENAGE PREGNANCIES, IF YOU STILL THINK SEX EDUCATION IS NOT NECESSARY IN COURSE CURRICULUM,THINK AGAIN.
There are a lot of misconceptions about sex education. sex education is not just about sex or how to have safe sex and neither it means that getting educated about sex students will start experimenting it.Instead sex education delays the start of sexual activity.Researchers have found no support for the contention that sex education encourages sexual experimentation.

Too many people think that neither sex education nor AIDS education is compatible with their notion of indian culture, perhaps they are more concerned about the culture than lives of the young people.
In a country like india were only a few are liberal to talk about sex, a majority still comes from a conservative background, it is necessary to bridge the cultural gap.
Most of the parents are not aware of their role in imparting sex education or they think that their children are too young and innocent to know and understand about sex education.But with internet and media all open its something useless to beleive.Indians are scared of sex and their coyness aboet it is fueling AIDS in india.The fact is parents do not want to handle it themselves and when schools handle it they creat objection.
Its not what is taught but more importantly how it is taught about sex education. The course and the curriculum should be more scientific than provocative.The students should feel comfortable seeking council on sex education.The tactic is to speak the same language as students and and keep an open mind.Instead of getting worngly or partially awared about sex education through internet and magzines its better to get properly educated about sex at school itself.
Banning sex education on the grounds that it offends indian sensibilities puts young lives at risk and jeopardises the fight against aids.Sex education is necessary and it should be included in the course curriculum.
