Sexual education also helps prevent unhealthy sexual behaviors such as casual sex, sexual violence, harassment, and unwanted teenage pregnancy. Ignorance about sex is often the source of sexual crimes. Therefore, sexual education taught correctly and responsibly can help prevent and reduce sexual crimes.
By teaching students about sex in schools, we can ensure that all students have equal access to information about sex. This includes students who come from families that are less open in talking about sex. In addition, sex education provided by schools can ensure that the information provided is correct, which can help prevent the emergence of myths and misconceptions about sexuality.
Thus, sex education in schools has many benefits for students and society as a whole. It helps students understand sexuality early on and gives them access to accurate and reliable information about sexuality.
