    According to a 2011 survey by Indonesia's Ministry of Health, only 20% of Indonesians aged 15-24 had a good knowledge of HIV, and 42% of people living with HIV in Indonesia were aged 20-29. A separate 2011 survey found that nearly half of Indonesians surveyed had a close friend or family member who had an unplanned pregnancy in recent years. The Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association has been training hundreds of peer educators to promote sexuality education and empower young people, as part of advocating for sexuality education to become part of Indonesia's national curriculum. More than 50 schools in Yogyakarta have agreed to use the IPPA curriculum.

    PROS

    Sex education in schools can help children understand the impact of sex in their
    lives. It dispels myths related to sex and broadens their horizon.

    It can also answer all the questions that they have regarding their changing body
    and hormonal surges.

    Children are often inquisitive about the other gender. Sex education in school can
    help them understand the differences and keep the desire to explore things for
    themselves in check.

    Child sexual abuse is a social malice that is afflicting thousands worldwide. Sex
    education in schools can play an active role in curbing the incidence of abuse as through
    this medium children can be made aware of the difference between good and bad touch.

    It is much better to teach children about sexual health in school rather letting them
    use other resources, such as pornographic material and the internet. This is important
    because avenues, such as the internet have a huge store of information that might be
    misleading.

    With problems, such as teenage pregnancies and transmission of STDs on the rise,
    it is only appropriate that sex education is made accessible in school so that the most
    number of children can be made aware.

    It transforms children into responsible adults. It is a known fact that teenagers


    today turn sexually active, therefore, sex education can help them understand the benefit
    of abstinence in the early years or it can at least teach them how to be responsible
    sexually active people.

    CONS

    Mostly teachers who are given the task of teaching sex education to students are
    not experts and have vague ideas about sexual health themselves. This is even more
    harmful as incorrect information is extremely lethal as it can actually leave a wrong

    impression on the students. Children have an impressionable mind and incorrect


    information imparted at an early age can actually transform them into ignorant adults.

    Students may still be subject to embarrassment or excitable by subject matter. If


    not taught properly, sex education in school can become a matter of ridicule and students
    may not take any interest in it.

    The fact that in most schools sex education is treated like an extracurricular course
    and not a primary one. If the authorising body is not serious about it then they cannot
    expect that students and teachers will be interested in it.

    Sex education at school may be at odds with the religious ideologies. Unless these
    disparities are sorted out by someone, who is aware of the two ideologies, sex education
    at school can actually confuse the students more.
