Gulbarga, Apr 17: Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development M A A Fatimi today made it clear that sex education would be introduced in educational institutions in the State soon.
Talking to reporters here, he said the Centre was determined to introduce sex education, keeping in mind the growing threat of HIV/AIDS.
''It is high time we started sex education for school going children. Thus, we can make them aware of HIV/AIDS menace...There is no turning back in this regard. But, necessary caution would be taken while deciding on the curriculum,'' he said.
Denying allegations that some multinationals were pressurising the Centre to introduce sex education in educational institutions, Mr Fatmi said the Centre had taken the decision on its own.
He informed that his Ministry would soon announce some special package for health and youth development.
The Minister was here to participate in a condolence meeting for Sajjad of Quaja Bande Nawaz Darga, who died here last week.
