Hi @joliejolie,

No, it is not a mandatory in schools esp. that it has not been approved yet. Sex education has been debated over for quite a long time now whether to be included in the schools' curriculum or not. The Catholic Church and conservative parties are strongly against this because they don’t believe that sex education is the solution to the population problem and poverty. And according to the head of the conservative political party Ang Kapatiran (The Brotherhood) here in our country The Philippines, sex education in children only promotes promiscuity.

Well my personal opinion is I am on the church side on this. I have four kids and I believe I can influence them to stick on what is right and I don’t want to ruin what I have started – letting them to go to church every Sunday. I myself was raised with fear in God and I do think that I know what’s best for my children. I am not against sex education but it should only be taught to marrying people and not on kids who have no idea what sex is and how to do it. It just gives children the idea to try it. And I do believe that abstinence is the best way to avoid STDs and AIDS so what’s the use of teaching children about sex. It should be better if children should be guided towards God.

“Eph 5:3 (NIV) But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.”

No, sex education is not mandatory, although many schools teach it.

There is debate but I'm not certain that it is well founded. Although there are portions of sex education that should be left out, the responsible academic establishment will address what the kids are wanting to know about. Is it better to teach a child the proper ideas of sex (male/female) and the differences between them, physiologically and mentally, or is it better for them to learn it from the boy that says "It'll fall off if he doesn't have sex" that naive girls are likely to believe.

Some form of sex education needs to be taught somewhere. But it should come from the physiological standpoint. No lessons on putting rubbers on bananas, and no learning about inserting a diaphragm. Learning about different body parts, menstrual cycles, and oily skin are all parts of sex education that can be taught in a responsible manner. Any intimacy education should be eliminated from the program, other than bringing up that there are contraceptives and that sexual intercourse causes pregnancy.
