MOE suspends Aware's programme for schools

MOE has examined AWARE's "Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Basic Instructor Guide". The Guide contains some positive aspects, like the accurate information provided on STIs/HIV and role-play practice for students to say no to sex.

However, MOE's assessment is that in some other aspects, the Guide does not conform to MOE's guidelines. In particular, some suggested responses in the instructor guide are explicit and inappropriate, and convey messages which could promote homosexuality or suggest approval of pre-marital sex.

In view of this, AWARE's programmes in schools will be suspended and subjected to the new vetting processes.

More details to come

When do they ( the ministry) ever, admit their mistakes?, they will come out with an announcement soon to deflect the mistake.

That means, Dr. Thio & her team concerns are valid....

What happened to the Geylang Indian Rojak case?...forgotten?

Soon, this AWARE thing..will quietly be forgotten, and nobody will ever bother, once again to know, what is AWARE!!:p
