SINGAPORE: The Education Ministry will tighten controls on sexuality education programmes run by external agencies. Materials of these agencies will now be vetted and some of it will be put online so parents know what's being taught in schools.
Eight per cent of teenagers aged 14 to 19-years-old are sexually active, and less than a quarter of them are using any protection, according to a survey done by the Health Promotion Board and Education Ministry in 2006 involving some 4,000 students.
Hence it's no surprise that sexually transmitted infections among Singaporean teens are on the rise, with 787 cases reported last year, 2.5 times higher than six years ago.
Each year, there are about 2,000 teenage pregnancies. The rate in Singapore may be lower than the UK, where teenage pregnancies is five times more. But it is still a cause for concern.
Sexuality education is currently implemented in all schools.
