Indians Want Sex Education

While politicains are still debating on whether or not childern should receive sex education, the mandate is clear as far as people, to whom the issue really matters, are concerned. A new survey conducted to find out how the issue is perceived across India.

According to the new survey, it's an issue that has divided public opinion right down the middle and now as a parliamentary committee is left to decide whether or not sex education will be taught in schools, Survey conducted with ---- students, teachers and parents in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and the growing town of Chandigarh -- asking them about what they really want!

And here are the results of the Survey. While politicians are still squeamish about the sex education debate, almost all teachers, students and parents are unanimous in their decision for imparting sex education in schools.

When probed, one of the parents spoke in favour of sex education and said:"Schools will do a better job of it because there could be a sense of embarassment which could creep up between the parent and their childern." While echoing similar sentiment, another parent said:"I think childern today should be very well aware of it because times have changed."

Out of the places surveyed, Bangalore presented a slightly different picture. While 97% teachers and 77% of the parents spoke in favour of sex education, its the students who are slightly divided on the issue -- 56% of the respondents spoke in favour of the issue, while 44% of them were against the sex education.

Moreover, in comparison, students in Chandigarh are far more open about sex education -- 83% of the students spoke in favour of it, while their parents, who are slightly more conservative do not want sex education to be imparted to their childern in school. Around 36% of the parents were totally averse to the idea.
And among the respondents those who feel strongly about sex education, more than half of the respondents said that the appropriate age to impart sex education is between 15 to 18 years.

However, teachers felt that the earlier the better. Though the opinion is divided over the issue of the right age bracket -- i.e 11-14 years or 15-18 years -- for imparting sex education.

One of the teachers said:"Right age would be before they attain puberty, i.e. between 10-13 years."

The crux of the surveysex education video clearly surmises that teachers, students and their parents are unanimous in their view that sex education will go a long way in helping reduce sexual abuse and teenage pregnancies.

"In case of ignorance, people will try to experiment or try to find out things on their own, which could perhaps be riskier than providing them education," said a middle age teacher.

And while it has been left to a parliamentary committee to take the final call, most teachers, parents and students are against leaving it to politicians to decide whether or not sex education should be taught in school.
A clear mandate from the people that its time to stop being squeamish about educating youth on sex and introduce sex education in the curriculum.
