Philippines Tests Sex Education In Public Schools Over Catholic Church Objections

[Mr Lee]

I feel this will be a very good thing and at least a start to solving overpopulation and helping to curb STD's. What do you think about this? Starting this year, sex education will be integrated in regular subjects including science, health, English and physical education, said Assistant Education Secretary Teresita Inciong, who is heading the project funded by the U.N. Population Fund. "It will be better if the schools teach sex education rather than children just picking this up from just anywhere like the Internet," said Education Secretary Mona Valisno. The Adolescent Reproductive Health program will be initially tested in 80 public elementary and 79 high schools, starting with grade five pupils aged 11-12, Inciong said.
