This is disturbing and surprising news to all.
If this is filtering down into school environments, it’s giving a strong negative signal to the stakeholders.
This are the results of children exposed to social media; what they see happening around them freely, the home backgrounds that children are coming from and other kinds of environment they are exposed to, like clubbing, social functions, etc.
Since the nation is grappling with the influx of social problems, it’s the best time to take appropriate measures to rectify the situation.
The Assistant Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Sashi Kiran, has brought up the concerning issues and it is now best for stakeholders to address the pertaining issues.
Ms Kiran must be commended for her honesty to make the issue public so that the nation can wake up and get engaged to help resolve the matter.
If children in primary schools are exploring sex, what else can we expect from them?
Many other social problems will definitely trigger them in near future.
Let’s collectively work out plans to resolve and de-escalate the matter.
