Dear Reach Executive,

Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced the suspension of The Aware sexuality educational programme for all main stream schools.

I am thoroughly disappointed with MOE on why it takes so long to do this.

They are supposed to be professional educators moulding the future of this nation. Their fundamental responsibility is to nurture our children into good citizens, conscious of their responsibilities to their families, society and country.

Being a cabby and had picked up countless number of times students and youth, I know for a fact that our young ones of both sexes are very aggressive, covetous, disrespectful, destructive and full of expletives and vulgarity whenever they speak- every expression contains the 4 letter word. From some of their conversation, they have given me the impression that they had already engaged in all forms of sex at young age. Is it surprise that there are many teenagers’ abortion nowadays?

Allowing AWARE's sex guide in our mainstream schools for so long wittingly or unwitting by MOE has made the matter worse on our impassionate youth. And please MOE do not tell me that there is an oversight on your part on this important educational programme.

Of course, bad role model and indulgent parents also plays a crucial part on bad development of our young ones.

And why is it that MOE must wait for parents to complain of this unhealthy sex programme - only then they will review the guideline? Is it not their primary duty as professional educators to do this in the first place?

It is in this aspect that MOE has let down our parents and children in particular, and our society and nation in general.

Warmest Regards
