Reproductive Education in Indian Schools
VIEW:
In a country that reports high rates of teenage pregnancies and physical abuse, one would think that the need to focus on gender equality and the importance of consent as a topic of discussion. The reality however is that education on physical gratification is a highly controversial topic in India. It is regarded offensive to Indian values and is falsely believed to lead to inappropriate behavior among the teenagers.
This is, however, not the case. Reproductive education has several benefits. It helps students understand that attraction to the opposite gender is a natural biological phenomenon, does away with the taboo and stigma surrounding consummation, educates teens on health issues that rises from rash behavior and thereby lowers the rates of teenage pregnancy, prevents gender related injuries and violence and enhances the psychological health of students.
As teens face important decisions about relationships and physical intimacy, the decisions they make can impact their health and well-being. It is important for schools to educate their students on appropriate behavior regarding physical intimacy to prevent students from future encounters with physically transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies so as to promote safety and wellbeing of the students.

Repeoductive education should be banned in schools as it goes against the Indian value system and corrupts the minds of the teenagers. It is taught to students at a very tender age and thereby promotes inappropriate thinking and behavior among the teenagers, and this may affect their school work, personal relationships and so on.
According to a new survey, which questioned more than 1,700 parents of children of ages ranging from five to eleven, found that 59% disagreed with the idea of venereal education being taught in schools while 41% thought otherwise, leaving it to the discretion of parents.
Copulation is a sensitive topic and more often than not it is misinterpreted and not taught effectively in schools and thus it is of popular opinion that reproductive education should be banned in all schools.
