The Commission on Population and Development (CPD, formerly POPCOM) on Thursday backed the proposed addition of comprehensive sex education to the basic education curriculum, to address teen pregnancy and other problems.

“Pero tinatawag pa rin natin silang rare event. Hindi naman gano'n sila kadami talaga kumpara sa buong populasyon. Kaya lang syempre, nalulungkot tayo na meron tayong mga batang babae, adolescents…para bang mas mahirap sa kanila ang makamit ang magandang edukasyon kasi nag-aalaga na sila ng bata,” Bersales said.

This is why, Bersales said, they consider the plan of the Department of Education to integrate comprehensive sex education in its curriculum as “good news.” “Nagsabi na si VP Sara mismo na isusulong na ngayon ng lahat ng eskwelahan ang tinatawag na comprehensive sexuality education na tuturuan ang ating mga kabataan, babae at lalaki, kung paano nila mapangalagaan ang kanilang katawan in terms of sexuality,” she said.

Respecting basic gender concepts and all sexual identities will be taught in the third quarter of Grade 6.
