The power of education can influence different minds
and youth person in terms of acquisition of knowledge, facts and
information as long as it suits their needs as an individual and a
learner that seeks for consistent information and factual data. It will
provide variety of information towards a certain idea like in sex
education, its been an issue for a couple of years in implementing it,
in the curriculum not just in Secondary but also in Basic level of
Education.
Department
of Education (DepED) agreed about the implementation of having Sex
Education as part of the curriculum since Secretary Mona Valisno emphasized that the contents of the reproductive health lesson modules that will be
integrated in core subjects are scientific, informative and are not
designed to titillate prurient interest of the students when we try to have Sex Education as part of the curriculum. She also said that
“Our role here is to educate our young people on issues that directly
affect them and empower them to make informed choices and decisions.” An
idea that support that sex education is not thoroughly about having sex
but also about how we take good care of ourselves or proper hygiene,
about reproductive system and sex identity. It's not merely about having
sexual intercourse with someone rather a transfer of knowledge that
will help students in understanding the concept of "sex". Another is
that, when we try to integrate Sex Education it doesn't mean that it
will focuses only in one subject area but we can integrate sex education
in different field of instruction which is called THEMATIC APPROACH. We
can apply it in different fields that will help them to understand
further the concept of Sex Education.
It was emphasized in other Asian
countries having Sex Education as part of their curriculum had a
positive output in giving importance in the Education aspect of the
country.They actually had less percentage of the number of population
and the youth were educated enough in terms of SEX. It will actually
help our youth today to be open minded enough in terms of that matter
and it will cater their curiosity about sex. As far as the information
concern about it, there were almost 160 schools which 79 public high
schools and 80 Elementary Schools having Sex Education as part of the
Curriculum based on the data given by Education Secretary Mona Valisn.
It
will help our youth now a days to handle this matter with proper
information and data given by having SEX EDUCATION as part of the
Secondary Curriculum.
