It used to be that in the fairly sexually conservative India, kids were not really taught too much about sex - at least not in school, like we are here in America and probably over in Europe too (they’re notoriously open about sex).  Well now, in the interest of school aged kid’s health and well being as well as teaching them about making the right sexual choices as they are growing up, reaching puberty and desiring to date, India is stepping the sex ed side of things up in their schools.

Indian schools starting soon will be teaching children, possibly as young as five years old, about sex, drugs and all the dangers that be in this world of taboo.  They are doing it so that they can catch STD’s and promiscuity before it happens more often, as well as to help maintain a sexually healthy and disease free culture, as free of drugs as possible as well. 

They will talk to kids about sexual myths that are not true to contradict any false ideas about birth control and actual sexual intercourse that are out there, sexual and personal hygiene, birth control methods and wise sexual choices, sexual abuse, and drug abuse.

This is a huge step for the Indian school systems, since lack of sexual knowledge was plaguing many of their schools, especially those schools in remote areas, where kids were pretty much clueless about sexuality and sexual health and were turned to the wolves when it came to sex education. 

This can also help sexual transmission of diseases such as the HIV virus, by educating kids of the risks of unprotected sex and the virtue of choosing partners discriminately when they do start having sex.
