Ministry: Teen pregnancy prevention module in Year 6, Form 3 curriculum

KUALA LUMPUR: A pilot programme to teach students of the dangers of out-of-wedlock sex has been introduced as part of the school curriculum last month as a means to prevent incidents of teen pregnancies amongst girls below 16.

The move was amongst the steps taken by Women, Community and Family Development Ministry to address the social issue which recorded over 6,000 teen pregnancies and births involving girls below 16 since 2000.
