Is the sex education system in Singapore adequate?

Is the sex education system in Singapore adequate? On a scale of 10, how would u rate the sex education system in S'pore? What do u guys think? Should the MOE revise the sex education content in our Secondary school Science book. If yes, why and what content should they put in? What changes should be done to enhance the sex education system in S'pore?
What are the ways that u guys can think of that will make sex education system an interesting topic? -

sex ed here is rather poor but i dun see any way to improve it
without kids trying to find out more about how to get sex? -
Sex ed here is non-existent. Besides it should be like that. Sex ed is educated by peer bonding and gossip and general chitter chatter, sex ed should not be done in a classroom cos its kind of weird in that sense. Sex ed is best discussed by a group of people of a similar age group.

Do you take off your hands and feet before you go to sleep?

Over in Singapore, we do have a sexuality education programme, but not a sex education programme. I was one of the earlier teachers trained in the programme, but it was for primary schools. Those teachers in secondary schools have a different set of training for the same programme.
Pupils' parents are allowed to opt their children out of it. And frankly speaking, if you were to ask me, the quality of it varies from school to school depending on the teacher handling the programme. In some schools it's virtually non-existent. In some schools, we merged it into the Health Ed or P6 Post-PSLE programme.
It's no longer just the purvey of the Science teacher. She can only teach the labelling (the various organs, functions and names), but will not go into how you do sex. In fact, even the sexuality education programme does not. It deals more with handling your sexuality. But the question always get asked during the lesson - "How do you do 'it'"? And the teacher has to answer with a straight face using diagrams.
Heh...and they tend to select married teachers, both male and females, to conduct this course. No marks for guessing why...although in our modern society it doesn't mean that you have no experience if you are not married. -
got sex education in sg meh... never heard of leh

Yeah so like I said, things should be left as they are. E.g how did we people learn about fornication and stuff? It was through gossip and chitter chatter from our peers and stuff, or some of us even could talk to our dads about it for tips and such. So I think we should all just relax. Leave the education programme alone.
Lolz, unless ofcourse the "gahmen" now wants to teach SEX in school in an effort to make babies, WHAHAHA!![/quote] -
The so-called sex education in singapore is a farce.
It's the gahmen's way of showing that action is being taken to educate our youths regarding the dangers of unprotected sex rather than fully understanding sex as a whole. It is obvious that sex is another area they want to control just like their feeble and wasted attempts at child-births.
Safe sex is indeed an important aspect of life, let's make no mistake about the issue. However, the need to fully understanding sex will allow ppl to take an impartial stand on what is deemed right and what is considered wrong. After all, there's always a flip side to a coin.
Let us be the judge of that. -
mi will applyy as Director of Sex education @ MOE if they start the post
