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.
