Dire need for better sex education in schools, say groups

PETALING JAYA: Child rights and women groups have reiterated calls for sex education in schools in view of the “insignificant” decrease in pregnancies among unmarried teenagers, despite many government initiatives being carried out over the years.

PS The Children executive director Mariza Abdulkadir said the insignificant reduction in such pregnancies was due to public programmes that do not address the root cause of the problem.
