WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976
+SEX EDUCATION IS NOT A SUBJECT THAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT ON ITS OWN. APART FROM HEALTH EDUCATION AND SOCIAL STUDIES LESSONS, SOME SCHOOLS INTEGRATE SEX EDUCATION ELEMENTS IN BIOLOGY, RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE, DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS.+
THERE IS A PROBLEM IN FINDING TEACHERS TO DO THIS WORK WELL. HOWEVER, THERE ARE TEACHERS ABLE TO DO IT AND WHO DO IT WELL.
+THE DEVELOPMENT OF FAMILY LIFE AND SEX EDUCATION MUST BE AT THE PACE OF SOCIETY ITSELF. NOTHING IS WORSE THAN FOR AN EMBARRASSED TEACHER TO STAND HESITATING AND UNCOMFORTABLE BEFORE A CLASS OF PUPILS AND MUMBLING THROUGH HIS LINES, HE SAID.
THE DIRECTOR POINTED OUT THAT THE NEW SOCIAL STUDIES SYLLABUS FOR JUNIOR FORMS WAS AIMED AT PROMOTING SELF-UNDERSTANDING, CONCERN FOR OTHERS AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP.
+EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE ATMOSPHERE IN SCHOOL THROUGH THE VARIOUS SUBJECT DISCIPLINES WHEREBY CHILDREN WILL LEARN TO BE SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKERS.
+ THE ETV PROGRAMMES WHICH HAVE JUST STARTED FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS INCLUDE PROGRAMMES ON SOCIAL STUDIES WITH SPECIAL TOPICS RELATED TO FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION. THIS MEDIUM IS A VERY USEFUL AID FOR TEACHERS, MR. TOPLEY SAID.
