Conduct sex education classes for schoolchildren, parents urge education minister
Bengaluru: Members of the Karnataka Private School College Parent Associations Coordination Committee urged the education minister on Wednesday to ensure that sex education classes are conducted for schoolchildren.
Following the incident of school authorities finding high school students carrying condoms, contraceptives, cigarettes, and alcohol, among other things, in their bags, the committee has reportedly asked the state government to consider the discovery a worrisome matter.
The parents apparently are all the more worried as several media sites and newspapers carried the news of the bag check by school authorities, said sources.
As a result, B N Yogananda, chairperson of the Committee, has asked the education minister to call a meeting comprising education institutions, education experts, child psychologists and officials of the Education Department, and discuss the need and means to conduct sex education classes for schoolchildren, it is learned.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
