Justice Verma Committee favours introduction of sex education in schools



The Justice Verma Committee wants introduction of sex education in a clinical manner in schools through trained teachers and child Counsellors, saying there is no basis to say sex education leads to early sexual initiation by children.

Asking for a drastic revamp of the formal curriculum in Indian schools to make sex education an integral part of each Indian student's curriculum, the committee says children should be able to access informed, non-prejudiced sources in sexuality rather than misinformation through internet or misleading advertising.
