A SENIOR provincial health official is suggesting that sexual reproductive health be taught by trained nurses in schools as part of the country’s education curriculum. Morobe health authority chief executive officer Dr Kipas Binga suggested that children, especially in primary schools, should be taught about sexual and reproductive health by trained nurses. Dr Binga said this when presenting certificates to midwives from districts in Morobe, after attending a week-long workshop on sexual and reproductive, and public health in Lae last week. He said the particular strand on sexual and reproductive health was crucial for students to know early in life in order for them to be able to make better decisions later on. “This strand must be taught by nurses for a particular period,” Dr Binga said.
“They (nurses) will come in and deliver lessons in that particular period for students to grasp so they (students) can look after themselves well.” “We must educate our young generation not only on HIV/AIDS, but contraception and the dangers of sex enhancement products.” He said more and more men were using sexual enhancement products and this was an area that needed more information and advice on. “Not just young boys, but public servants and adults as well. “Some come and see me. “We should know more about these products’ implications on users. “This is reality, it is happening.” Dr Binga said it was important for young people to be taught about sexual health in order to safeguard them. He said parents also had a responsibility to advise their children well and to lead by example.
