Colombo, Feb. 27 (Daily Mirror)- The Education Ministry has made arrangements to launch new educational publications compiled to provide sex education from the pre-childhood development stage to the adult community, the Parliamentary Caucus for Children said.

Officials of the Education Ministry said that arrangements have been made to launch publications on the 7th of March, 2024.

This was stated when the Parliamentary Caucus for Children chaired by Member of Parliament Rohini Kumari Wijeratne met in Parliament recently.

The officials informed the Caucus that research has confirmed that these educational publications on sex education have been prepared with the primary objective of improving the limited knowledge of people pertaining to sex education, which is the basis of many concerns in Sri Lanka.

These educational publications have been prepared suiting from preschool children to 13th grade up to the adult community. Officials expressing views before the Caucus stated that these sex education publications have been compiled by experts in the respective fields under the full supervision and approval of the Ministers of Education and Health.

Under the first phase, these sex education publications are proposed to be provided as E publications and the officials emphasized that by formally imparting knowledge about sexuality to all age groups in the society, many crises emerging in the society can be alleviated and children can be protected thereby.

Not sex education but please teach MPs how to behave; talk and discuss matters in and outside of Parliament. That is important. MPs should be example to all . And yet out 225 more than half will go home next election... Then a NPP will introduce a good sex education bill with the discussion with experts

This sex education will destroy Sri Lanka. Every agenda from Suddha (America) is now pushed on Sri Lanka. The LGBT agenda, vaccines, birth control, climate change agenda, and sex education are all white men's agendas to destroy Sri Lanka. They are punishing this all around the world. Sri Lankans are again accepting these things blindly, but they will find out a few years later how bad this sex education will be for young kids. These traitors in Sri Lanka who work for the US government are truly evil. I hope all these Sri Lankan traitors will be exposed.

Don’t fool us that this is a Sri Lankan initiative, you are coerced to follow what is being taught in British schools . Look for evidence if teaching sex to school children , in the British style, has helped the British society in any shape or form. Britain leads Europe in teenage pregnancies, sex crimes are rampant in Britain to the degree there are even instances of school boys raping their school teachers , but none of these are ever reported in Sri Lankan papers . You all keep looking up to the West out of ignorance. Sex education is a must but it should be taught consistent with our Sri Lankan culture, what you are doing is copying the British material as demanded by Britain and imposing it on our children .

I thought “sex” was the most googled word in our country. Why the need for sex education?

I hope this has nothing to do with the transgender movement coming for our kids!! I have seen many woke activities in European and American schools and drag queen book reading clubs polluting the young minds to change their gender without even parental consent. Make sure none of that takes place with our kids !!!

@ Concerned Citizen. You are a shining example of the fact that you have had inadequate, uptight and poor sexual education. As science has long proven, sexual preference cannot be transferred or imposed. Sexual preference is genetic and cannot be changed, but, as many still do, it can be suppressed and concealed. Modern sexuality education includes recognizing sexual minorities (LGBT ) and not defaming and suppressing these people socially. It is a crime to prevent a young person who has realized his sexual preference from pursuing it. Maybe you should emigrate to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death.

I had no idea that sex was a British/ Western invention until I saw the comments here.

Sex was not but our Victorian attitude toward it, certainly is. Our mindset is from the 19th century. Same in India.

When we were young adults in 1970s, we didn't know much about sex. It didn't cause any problem either because the society was decent and sex was not an urging desire to go after it as nowadays. There were no A/C non A/C Rooms available everywhere. Time has changed and if young adults were not given the required knowledge in advance, they'll fall into deep troubles including child pregnancy, STD and what not!

Plenty of sex education, but still no education for financial literacy. What a joke!
