| Schools offer sex education courses for 'inexperienced' parents Thai schools are offering sex education courses for 'inexperienced' parents. The country's Public Health Ministry is organising the one-day courses in Bangkok. Officials say many children are turning to pornographic videos, magazines and the internet for information because their parents don't know enough. Public Health Minister, Sudarat Keyuraphan, says recent research has found 17% of parents know little about issues such as abortion, safe sex and HIV. She told the Bangkok Post: "Parents today lack information and experiences to teach their children." She says too many parents rely on schools to teach their children about sex. The courses start at secondary schools in 50 Bangkok districts next month. The project will be extended to all schools in Thailand within two years. 1st February 2002 |
