From next year, textbooks for pupils in grades 4 to 12 will reflect a “cutting edge” curriculum that treats masturbation, sexual consent, gender nonconformity and single-parent families as mainstream.
Sex therapist Dr Marlene Wasserman , one of 80 experts who have overhauled the curriculum, said: “Masturbation is normalised and it is threaded through [the curriculum] from grade 4. It begins with self-pride, self-image, body diversity, genital differences, genital changes and touching oneself for pleasure.”
While grade 4 pupils would learn about consent in friendships, older pupils would learn about sexual consent. “The curriculum was geared for the 2020 South African learner: who is he, she, they? A fluid, gender nonconforming child raised in a family of a mom and an absent dad,” Wasserman said. Hayley Walker, chair of Protective Behaviours Southern Africa, said the textbooks were long overdue because “too much many life skills have been left to chance”.
Cant they just teach out kids self sustainability and enterpreneurship, not this shit?
Who is the genius behind this? Will the teacher show how it’s done or how will this work? Reading, writing, spelling, Math, what the heck, who needs that in life. Without knowing how to masturbate, the child will have no future, toughies. 🤯
SA education curriculum is just a sinking ship
Our education system is going off the track, given a chance i would need my children to be excused
What will they benefit from that huh? Oh lLord please have mercy on our beloved country...
We are not gonna get anywhere in this country...indeed the flesh is weak. 😂
My ANC
This curriculum is best at teaching nonsense.... Eish
Shuuu I am not ok hey!!!!! What!!!
Basic Education Department disappointed and disturbed with Sunday Times article. The article is misleading and in fact, a complete misrepresentation of the work the Department is doing.
You people who voted ANC, you voted for this wickedness!!
I see people objecting about grade4's being taught about masturbation, grade 4's are 9years old. Old enough to know about sex, masturbation is part of sex. You'll be shocked to hear what they know about sex. Stop being naive.
Ntate Lesufi please can this not happen. Can we not be forward in advancing sexual teachings before we advance robotics, coding &other innovative content.Can we embed what will positively attach on kids minds. Pls can we not have 2 deal fundamental issues & now have 2 fight such
Haibo wtf
SA education mara👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽.
Although I have no idea what the Subjects talks about ,I just hope they teach our Kids to work with their hands,In China Kids make locks and teddy bears it is high time we follow suit.
Any live demonstrations in the classroom?
We really needs to start working on home schooling our own kids. The important basic we have not gotten right, now we want to do this really?
The headline is misleading! Guys read the article before commenting. This will reduce if not curb early pregnancy at primary level.
This is so ABSURD if the department doesn't know what to add on their curriculum they rather just cancel the whole Life Orientation thing
Accountability should not only be expected from politicians but everyone including media. This headline is actually unprofessional unless if misleading ppl is part of journalism curriculum
This masturbation headline is misleading and clearly the one who coined this headline didnt read the article. This is bad news and intended to paint a dark picture!
Media capitalises on the fact that most ppl dont read and just comment based on headlines, you need to move from selling approach to serving, we all need to build this country tog!
Media you need to stop your sensationalist approach, children are going to learn about sexual consent, gender non conformity and masturbating at a later stage, u report as if masturbation is the major.That is wrong &irresponsible!
Absolute nonsensical nonsense. We have so failed to teach kids academically that we are accepting 35% as a pass, but no that's not enough, let's ruin their moral fibre as well.. What will become of our children with nonsensical decision making and leadership like this?
Mara why
Fortunately my children won't be involved in this madness, they have passed that phase
How about starting to teach them how to read, is that not prority. What are they going to do with mastaurbation at that age?
Somehow i feel like this goat summarizes our ANC LED LIVES
Let me read the whole article before making my views known
At that time they can’t even read 🙄
ZimSongwevuZA
When will they learn electronics or the internet or how to be inventors, Haowa Mara....
This sounds very wrong, someone please tell us it's not entirely true.😰
Before we know it, kids will be sex addicts. This is wrong
As a parent I'm not entirely sure about this.
Who are we shadowing or copying? American children and European children are learning about ecosystem and technology and we teach our kids this? Our time was wasted by the apartheid government teaching us about parts of the locust when we were supposed to be doing technology.
Wow,so they will be able to practice it in classes?
This could start a mass debate.
Teach them parenting also.
Lesufi whats ur take on this 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
HOMESCHOOL the children! Get them away from the Marxist government run indoctrination gulag, known as the 'PUBLIC SCHOOL'!
Modimo!!!?😨😨
I sometimes think it is good as the youth nowadays at that age can teach me something new...
Damn.
That is what happens when you involve satanists in education.
Huh..
A progressive step in the right direction -good sex Ed at an early 🤘🏿
Just because kids know more 'sexual issues' at Grade 7 or 8 does not meant sexuality should be addressed at lower grades. What should be addressed is the informal sexual content or social ills they are exposed to.
MYANC you won elections to do this?
Ever seen how small grade 4s are?
Haibo South Africa 😩
Masepa fela
Lol wtf.. In which country
Im not happy....
Now that's going too far
Why not how to do CV/business plan write up? 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
It would seem that where the world cannot tackle life's parenting problems, we'd rather embrace these in the name of 'normal'. Are we not losing our parental grip here?
Oh wow, that's going to be so useful. Why ever would kids need to know how to change a tyre, sew on a button, make a meal, do taxes or draw up a CV.
Are they going to do practicals also? And exams?
I blame people
A certain Miss Khalifa would've been a perfect teacher
This tells me, the left want to sexualise our children to normalize paedophilia. Beastility next?
But the can't read for meaning
That's a jerky topic
Timetable: P1, P2 7h50-08h50-Maths P3 08h50-09h20 Eng (Language) P4 09h20 - 09h50 Life Orientation (Wanking) 09h50-10h10 BREAK P5 10h10 - 10h40 Social Studies(History) etc Afternoon: LO Homework

Apart from climate change and AI, stupidity was cited as a major threat to humanity by Stephen Hawking. This is exactly why kids can no longer read properly and why they are so bad at maths. Why not teach them about entrepreneurship, finance and coding on a basic level with practical lessons. How is knowing yoga and masturbation going to make them ready for the job market?
