The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu, has said that sex education should not be taught in schools because it is targeted at undermining and destroying the moral and religious fibre of the country.
In the keynote address he delivered at the 66th NCE meeting, on Nov 3rd, the minister said that all available evidence indicated that sex education in schools does more harm than good to the students.
He disclosed that he had directed the Nigeria Educational Research and Development Council to quickly review the curriculum of Nigerian schools and expunge any sexual education content in it.
“In a recent trip to the New York, a government official called my attention to certain materials on sex education being used in schools and I almost collapsed. I am one of those persons who believe that sex education should not be taught in our schools
“Rather such knowledge and experience should be shared through other means that are known to man,” he said.
