Sexual education is a necessary element to be introduced in the prescribed syllabus from primary school to early adulthood says the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice).

But parents have refused these suggestions as they say sexual education lessons are of no importance to the young kids who are five and below and also added ‘unnecessary and harmful.’

This is because they are afraid of early teenage pregnancy and see them as acceptable. The Daily Express quoted author and social policy expert Patricia Morgan as saying, “There is no evidence which shows that the more children are taught about sexual, the less likely they are to become pregnant.”

Morgan added: “The more children are told, the more likely they are to experiment.” According to the draft guidance from health watchdog Nice, proper information about sexual education will spread sexual awareness which will caution youngsters.

“This guidance has made recommendations on effective teaching approaches, which include parents discussing school topics at home, and class visitors such as a teenage parent,” said Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive officer.
