Introduction of sex education in schools is necessary. It would provide the right information to young individuals at the right time about various aspects of reproductive health such as reproductive organs, puberty, and adolescence related changes, safe sexual practices, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.
The young individual or adolescents are more susceptible to acquiring various sexually transmitted diseases. Hence, providing information to them at the right time would help them to lead a reproductively healthy life and also protect them from the myths and misconceptions about various sex-related issues.Thus, the parents should allow their children to attend the seminar.

Q. You are a young IAS officer who has recently been posted in a remote district. When you reach your posting you find that the village has seen no development. The villagers give no importance to education and most children leave school to work with their parents. The parents feel this is the best option for them. Since there are very few students studying in the school the teacher does not come regularly. you also notice that the school is in a dilapidated condition. As an educated citizen you feel everyone has a right to education and its benefits. You have two options in front of you.

(a) Explain the reasons that you feel are behind such embarrassment amongst some parents to freely discuss such issues with their growing children.

"A”: Our state is considering raising the age at which a person can get a driver's license to eighteen.

This is unfair because the age has been sixteen for many years and sixteen-year-olds today are no less responsible than their parents and grandparents were at sixteen.Many young people today who are fourteen and fifteen years old are preparing to receive their licenses by driving with a learner's permit and a licensed driver, usually one of their parents. It would not be fair to suddenly say they have to wait two more years.

"B”: It is true that people have been allowed to receive a driver's license at sixteen for generations.

However, in recent years, the increase in traffic means drivers face more dangers than ever and must be ready to respond to a variety of situations. The fact that schools can no longer afford to teach drivers' education results in too many young drivers who are not prepared to face the traffic conditions of today.

What is the point at issue between "A” and "B”?
