Government is about to introduce Sex education in Indian school!, what is your view?

The Arya Vidya Mandir (AVM) Society, which runs four schools in the city, could be in for trouble. The state government said the AVM management had not taken necessary permissions to turn the AVM Girls’ School in Santacruz into a co-educational institution, and to merge it with another AVM school in Bandra.

Parents of girls studying in AVM, Santacruz have moved the Bombay High Court against the management’s decision — that from April 1, 2007 the school will become co-educational and girls from Standard III to X will attend classes in the AVM School in Bandra (W). Girls in Standard II and below will continue to attend the Santacruz school, along with boys. Both schools would have a common principal.

On February 26, the court had asked the government to check whether all the necessary permissions had been taken. In an affidavit filed before the court, Deputy Secretary of School Education AM Bhattalwar said the school management had not obtained the no-objection certificates (NOCs) for shifting/relocating the school and changing the girls’ school to a co-ed institution. The affidavit said the school gave the state the impression that it was simply reorganising some classes while it was actually shifting a part of the school from Santacruz to Bandra.

The affidavit cites a November 2003 Resolution which said that government sanction had to be taken to convert a school into co-ed. The permission is granted only after verifying the amenities available for boys and girls. The government affidavit could spell trouble for AVM. The may be heard on Tuesday.

MUMBAI: Sex education in schools is under attack. Based on the premise that sex education will lead more children to experiment with sex instead of staying off it, the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) will launch a countrywide agitation to have it scrapped.

The Jamaat will seek the help of Parents and Teachers Associations to plug any move to introduce sex education. In Mumbai, the JIH will take the help of city-based anti-obscenity crusader Pratibha Naitthani. It is also in touch with 22 other organisations under the aegis of the Ashleelta Virodhi Manch (Anti-Obscenity Campaign) to back their stand.

Jamaat representatives met Minister for School Education Vasant Purke and demanded that the state government reconsider its decision to make sex education compulsory in schools. A memorandum will also be submitted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Minister for Human Resource Development Arjun Singh. The organisation plans to intensify protests across the country by mobilising Muslims organisations.

The provocation seems to have come from Arjun Singh, who indicated that sex education will be crucial to prevent AIDS. A spokesman for the Jamaat, Aslam Ghazi, told DNA that his organisation will not let the HRD ministry carry on with its plans. “Uncontrolled sexual anarchy is the reason for AIDS,” he said. “It is a Western illness. Why should our children be taught about sex?”

According to Ghazi, sex education will do no good because it will leave children confused and curious. “On the one hand, schools will teach children everything about sex. On the other, they will caution them against indulging in sex,“ he remarked. “When they are asked to hold off, they will become more curious and try to experiment with many partners. We will not allow such moral corruption.”

Cool but i doubt if teachers are willing teach that. When i was in SSLC 9th. We had this topic about male and female reproductive system our biology teacher just moved to next chapter. In SSLC it is not much in detail but while in ICSE it was very detailed.

Thanx god, this was a much required action to take. Sex is a taboo topic in India socity, now atleast this way students will be frank & open about it. If there is enough knowledge of something it is no longer a special knowledge.

We can already see the Student Sex revolution in all the colleges & universites in the form of various MMS scandels which come out everyday

, the knowledge is still there, but boys & gals are shy. Oh comon, everyone does it, it's just no one talks about it.

Now I hope the parents are samrt enough to understand the decision. Starting sex education does not mean that this will increse the harrasment cases or Students doing sex in school\college times. Yo, they are already doing it without telling. Atleast now they will be safe. It better to buy a Rs 20 pack of condom then to be a papa accidently anyway

Aslam Ghazni, wake up *knock knock knock*. AIDs is definitely not a western disease, in fact it India tops the list. Ironically Manipur, a trasitional progressive Indian state tops the list in India along with other NE states, what is abstinence going to do there? And the rest of India?

G.W. Bush experimented with removing sex-ed and introducing abstinence programs, US today has 7 times higher teen pregnancy rates than Europe, statistically teen in both continents have same amount of sex.

NDA government went for abstinence means instead of promoting safe sex and propelled India to beat South Africa in being the top country with HIV, now we all do what we are best at - denial.

Aslam Ghazi is an example of person who credit all evils to the west and are happy with India getting backwards. It is these kind of people who keep India on leash and let China overtake India in all spheres.

Sex education is the need of the hour, not only for preventing AIDs but also satiating the curiousity, preventing unwated pregnancy and gender sensitisation. In India where majority have sex only after marriage, people enter into wedlock and are scared silly because they don't know one thing or the other. They don't understand much about female sexuality either and neither are the ladies sure about it, being bought up in a puritan environment.

Thats biology, science not sex education. Sex education deals with the relationships and emotional aspects of sex along with other things..
