SEXUAL EDUCATION TO BE EMBEDDED IN OUR CURRICULUM?



The set of courses, coursework, and their content, offered at a are very important in our educational system.

Ghana has just caused a massive change in the old syllabi to give in for the new Standards Based Curriculum that saw 150,000 trained nationwide to meet the new changes at hand.

Some educationists have always suggested their own aspects that they feel could be added to the curriculum to help the Ghanaian child to meet the global trends in education. Examples of these suggested aspects include security, sex education, waste management, financial literacy at an early stage and so on. It seems the one that has the loudest hammering is Sex Education and the Ghana Education Service has considered the possibility of introducing the said area under discussion.

Interestingly, at the beginning of next term, five-year-olds will study comprehensive sexuality education in Ghanaian public schools.

Officials are with the opinion that the subject content would, however, be age-appropriate, so the toddlers would be empowered with values that would protect them from sexual harassment at an early stage or later in life. This according to them will create adequate awareness for both sexes but most especially for “the girl child”.

Have you ever attempted to teach your kids about their sexuality? Will you support or frown upon this new directive from GES?
