A representative from the IRES said that the programme aims toprovide the children with sex awareness and knowledge and self defence skills.
The programme targets three subjects - teachers, parents andchildren. The teachers and parents will receive scientific knowledge of sexeducation as well as methods to give the education to children, thus ensuringtheir smooth coordination in the work.
Meanwhile, the children will learn how to protect themselves.

Therefore, the provincial People’s Committee has assignedthe Department of Education and Training to take the charge of implementing apilot programme to give sex education to children from 3-5 years old.
If effective, the programme will be conducted across theprovince, she said.-VNA
