Learning
does not differentiate between the subjects; it is the students who favor the
subject. Knowledge of all subjects is a must. Values taught explicitly in reference to sex is the best sex education the
younger generation can get. Sex
education in schools takes away the responsibility of a mother towards a
daughter and that of a father towards his son in a family. If the sex and
relationship education is seized from the parents the bond is severed. Educating
the kids about relationships creates a sort of bond of communication which is
lost if the school curriculum steps in between. By introducing sex education in
schools family ties might loosen to some extent.
Sex education in schools
and colleges might bring forth the uncomfortable topic in the mainstream but
could give the younger generation ideas of things that they had never thought
of before. Will it not make them over curious to know more is the question,
some things which are left to take their natural course is always better. While
sex education would be the theory class for youngsters, the electronic media
and movies act as the laboratory sessions and they end up making pathetic experiments
which they never would have indulged in if they hadn't heard about it in the
first place.
Sex education could bring down the crime against women feels
some section while others feel it might increase. Looking at the collapse of morality
in the society the younger generation has to be introduced to an educational
system which can uproot this relapse from the root level. The only method can
be to impart education with values compulsory at levels of education in
schools, institutions and universities. Here importantly the religious belief
and dogmas have to be kept away. Irrespective of the religion the students
belong they must be provided opportunity to learn about the values to be
practiced in their life so that they create a value based society free from
moral degeneration. As a first step spiritual education should become part of
the curriculum.
Spiritual class develops
the qualities that are predispositions for learning. It fosters a school ethos
that emphasizes quality holistic education, high personal moral and academic
standards. It develops thinking and interacting skills creating a calm and
purposeful environment in which everyone feels valued. The teaching staff too
feels valued in a culture of care and support helping the students to
understand themselves. By understanding themselves the students are aware of
their inner self, so that they grow to be self-disciplined and hence have the
ability to observe and determine their own positive behaviour. This is what the
sex education also aims at, but there is an uncertainty as that path could be disastrous.
As it is the biology
subject deal with the anatomy of body, reproduction activity and birth control,
sex education could put light on unprotected sex, use of condoms and
contraception. But value education trains the student from abstaining from
sexual activity. Many fail to understand the importance of celibacy at time of
student life. It is celibacy that can guide an
adolescent to self-restraint which develops the inner strength, self-control,
and most importantly conducive character.
The energy that is wasted in the
thought of sex and the amount of vigor squandered by indulging in the activity
will be hindrance for healthiness and affect memory. It is celibacy alone that
makes the students understand that they are spiritual beings, distinct from the
body. It is the act of sex which reinforces the illusion in them that they are
these bodies. Sexual gratification and its extensions in family and society are
the main knots that bind the students to material identification. Our ancient
system of education aimed at distancing the student from these knots so they
can act on the spiritual plane and be a good citizen.
Value education includes
educating the student of sex and its desire disparity…….. What say??????
