Sex education for girls as well

Girls also needed to be given sex education so that both understand the matter.

KUALA LUMPUR: Teenage girls should also have access to sex education when it is introduced next year to males aged 16 and above, say leaders of educational and parenting associations.

Welcoming the move, these leaders said the implementation of the sex education module should be thoroughly studied so that it would be understood by the students.

National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) president Hashim Adnan said like the boys, girls also needed to be given sex education so that both understood the matter.

“It takes two to tango, so in this matter, both parties, whether male or female, must be informed about sex education. We believe it should be taught properly … sex education in schools, rather than them learning from the Internet, as is happening now,” he said when contacted by Bernama here yesterday.
