The Centre has informed the Supreme Court that it is ready to introduce comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education in schools and colleges. The proposed curriculum will cover personal safety, consent, puberty, reproductive health and child sexual abuse awareness.
The Centre's proposal to introduce comprehensive sex education in schools and colleges across the country has received a positive response from educators, parents and medical professionals, many of whom say the move is long overdue and could help children receive accurate, age-appropriate information instead of relying on social media or peers.
On Monday, the Centre informed the Supreme Court that it has accepted the recommendations of an expert committee to introduce comprehensive sex education and will implement them after the court grants its approval.
While the announcement has sparked discussions nationwide, school leaders believe the focus should now shift from whether sex education should be taught to how it is should be introduced in classrooms.
