    Sex education in Malaysia needs improvement as statistics show many underage girls become pregnant each year. A survey found many youth have misconceptions about sex, pregnancy, and STIs. Comprehensive sex education has been shown to delay sex, decrease risky behavior, and increase contraceptive use in sexually active teens. Both teachers and parents must work together to properly educate children on reproductive health as they become sexually active. European countries tend to have the lowest teen pregnancy rates due to their approach to sex education.

    SEX EDUCATION

    Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge,


    skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

    Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching referred to a failure of quality control,
    pointing out that that “the general understanding on sex education is still low”

    Statistics show that around 14 in every 1,000 underaged girls in Malaysia fall
    pregnant every year, which adds up to an average of 18,000 girls per year.

    According to a 2015 survey backed by the Health Ministry, 35% of Malaysian female
    youth believe that having sex for the first time does not lead to a pregnancy, and one
    in five Malaysians believed that STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infection) could be
    transmitted by mosquitoes.

    Comprehensive sex education has been conclusively shown to delay initiation of


    sexual intercourse, decrease risky sexual behaviour, incidence of teenage pregnancies,
    and increase condom and contraceptive use among teenagers that are sexually active.

    The responsibility of educating children on reproductive health doesn’t just fall on the
    shoulders of teachers and the school system – parents, too, play a key role and need to
    step up to the plate / Parents play a pivotal role

    As they will grow to become sexually active, they will need to learn about pregnancy,
    abstinence (don’t want to do smtg), contraception, sexually transmitted infections and
    adequate prevention

    According to data from the World Bank, European countries tend to have the lowest
    rate of teen pregnancies.

    KNOWLEDGE
    Ipoh ranked as one of the top ten ‘Best in Asia’ destinations by Lonely Planet in 2016.

    According to the travel booking portal, Agoda, Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia were the
    third most booked city and country in Asia. In the same survey, Kuala Lumpur was
    also named as the third most visited city in Asia. KL surpassed other destinations
    which include Hong Kong, Osaka, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, Bali and Pattaya.
