To overcome the fact that, UNESCO developed new guidelines entitled “International Guidelines on Sexuality Education”. Guidelines that explain, what is sex education and why it is important to say.

In the guidelines, the material must include the six concepts, namely the relationship of values; attitudes and skills; culture, society, and law; human development; sexual behavior; as well as reproductive and sexual health. Sex education itself is divided in age groups 5-8 years, 9-12 years, 12-15 years, and 15-18 to the top.

“At the present time, education becomes a powerful weapon to deal with matters relating to the issues important to prevent young children from the mistake of looking at sex,” says Mark Richmond, Director of the Division for the Coordination of UN Priorities Education and Coordinator of the Global HIV and AIDS Unesco.

“Based on the evidence, many young people who do not have access to knowledge that can help them get the right information so they can avoid the wrong action. These new guidelines are expected to overcome the gap,” said Mark.
