Teenagers need sex education: Ahok
– After footage of two underage children engaging in sexual intercourse
went viral on the Internet recently, Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok”
Tjahaja Purnama said that it was important that sex education be made
available to teenagers.
Ahok said that sex education was needed to teach children about sexuality and reproductive health.
“There are some things that are confusing
for parents to teach their children, and sex is one of them. Sex
education is needed from a young age,” Ahok told reporters at City Hall
on Thursday.
However, he said it would be difficult to
officially include sex education in the national curriculum as
discussions on sex was considered taboo in Eastern countries.
