Introduction of sexuality education lessons in public elementary and high schools
1. Identify the target audience
The target audience would be students and educators
2. Cite advantages and disadvantages
An advantage of sex education is how it gives kids the tools necessary to be safe when they decide that they would like to engage in sexual activity.
A disadvantage would be the reactions from conservative parents who say sex ed is encouraging children to engage in risky sexual acts.
3. Do you see it being followed/implemented in your locality?
In my brother’s public school, they taught them about STIs and contraception. However, they do not teach about other sexual topics like consent. Which I believe should also be taught in a sexual context especially in countries like the Philippines where termination is illegal.
