Samoa govt says no to sex education

Loau told theĀ Samoa ObserverĀ the idea was absurd and sex education should be an issue addressed in families not in the classroom.

Earlier the president of the Samoa Aids Foundation, Leniu Asaua Fa'asino said there was a need for Samoa to incorporate sex education into its schools to help raise awareness about how to protect against HIV/AIDS.

The foundation had been working with other health organisations to put together a proposal for the Ministry of Education, Leniu said.

But Loau is adamant that as long as he is minister, he will not entertain the idea.
