The Anglican Church of Kenya archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit wants sex education to be taught in primary and secondary schools to curb rising acts of immorality among young people.
The archbishop is calling on the government to develop a comprehensive sex education curriculum for primary and secondary schools.
Ole Sapit observes that immorality among the youth will be ended if they are taught sexuality at a tender age.
Speaking at St Paul’s University 25th graduation ceremony in Limuru on Friday, the ACK bishop noted that young people have been lured into immorality because they have no knowledge about sexuality.
“The government and stakeholders must come up with appropriate measures that will tame immorality among young people,” he said.
The Bishop noted that youths have been lured into prostitution, drug abuse and other social evils for lack of information and knowledge
Ole Sapit at the same time urged parents and guardians to instil good morals to their children.
He said that some parents and guardians have abandoned their responsibilities living their children vulnerable to perpetrators of social evils.
There have been calls for the government to introduce sex education to children in schools.
Such calls have however been criticised by some stakeholders who claim that it is not right to teach children matters sexuality at a tender age.
