Sir,
This is in reference to the letter published in this paper dt 30th July captioned ‘No to Sex education” by A K Razdan.
Moral education is an integral part of our education system from the times immemorial. It should be imparted by all educational agencies/institutions to make the world a happier place to live in.
However, I differ with the writer regarding sex education. We the citizens of 21st century cannot keep our student community illiterate as far as sex education is concerned. Education aims at awareness and alround development. The advancement in science and technology never comes in the way when moral values are taught. Vulgarity and degeneration in our society is not the result of sex education but lack of morality and also educational management. Moral education starts from home and our schools can play a pivotal role. The students should be taught moral values like respect to elders, women, teachers etc. Religious and regional tolerance should be taught to youngesters with all human values so that society is not divided on the basis of caste, colour, sex and religion/region. Students should be made aware about the negative impacts of fundamentalism and religious intolerance. Once the moral spirit is generated in our young generation, their conscience will never allow them to do anything wrong. They will certainly think hundred times before doing any harm to others.
So, it is not the sex, education which can be blamed for vulgarity but loss of moral spirit among the young generation. It is better for the students to be self aware about the sex education so that they can face any challange arising out of sexual abuse or exploitation. Awareness about sexual education saves our young citizens from secret discussions on the topic and use of internet (face books) secretly to harm themselves, parents and society as a whole.
Yours etc…
