SEX EDUCATION IN INDIAN SCHOOLS

Many Indian male see female as a strange life form from other planets. These female 'structures' are 'free for all' they think. We must find an end to this either through education or through compulsion by law. Let us, therefore, opt for education first. The prime motive of sex education in schools, that is from class 4 to 12, should be safety of female of all ages. The lessons should not be merely confined to human anatomy. Sex should be seen as a nature's tool to maintain the existence and upkeep of life forms on earth.

Some of our educated newly wed young husband's approach doctors for clarification of sex related matters. Many of our youngsters acquire whole knowledge on sex from cinemas and novels. Children from young age should be provided adequate sex knowledge scientifically. The whole country should have a common sex syllabus from lower classes upto class 12. An expert committee can be formed for this consisting of Educationalists, Medical specialists,  Sociologists and experts from other relevant fields. Countries like Netherlands, Denmark, Germany etc are leaders of  sex education in schools. While Netherlands provide sex education to children from the age of four, Germany gives this teaching from age five. Our expert committee may refer the syllabus of schools of these countries before prescribing one for us.

If these can be properly established and managed, our next generation, especially women shall live here happily and peacefully. I would also like to request that educated women may come to the forefront in these matters.
