Change to sex education

The Education Ministry has completed a new sex-education curriculum for a pilot project at select schools where students are at greater risk of becoming HIV-positive.
It will involve four books covering Prathom 1 to Mathayom 6.Each book has six units: sexual development, relationships, social skills, sexual behaviour, sexual health and social and cultural matters. Teachers will be provided with details on teaching techniques and activities for sex education classes. The project will be introduced at 80 schools around the country. A revised version should be available online next year. The Nation
