I REFER to the article “Let’s talk about sex... education” (The Star, Star2, March 21).

It looks like the topic of sex education in school is in the limelight again, but should it be taught as a full-fledged subject or integrated into existing subjects like Biology, Moral/Religious Studies, and Physical and Health Education?
