Do we need sex education?

Tanzila Norbaeva, chairwoman of the Senate and Gender Equality Commission, said that sex education classes would be held in all educational institutions. “There are stereotypes that young girls should not go to a gynecologist. For us, the topic of sex education is closed. In fact, many parents do not talk to their children about it. But this is a mistake. In fact, we need to start sex education from childhood. Even if we don’t say it literally, we need to explain all of this to the kids. In creating curricula, it is necessary not only to educate, but also to pay attention to other sensitive aspects of the situation, "said the Speaker of the Senate.

So what do our experts think about this? What is the purpose of passing such lessons to the younger generation today? Are the lessons based on European standards or not? ..

Sensitive questions need appropriate answers

Munavvara YOKUBBEKOVA, Doctor of Philology:

- At the press conference held that day, it was said that sexual education should be provided from kindergarten to higher education. It is natural that this idea will lead to heated discussions and debates with parents focusing on the most delicate, the most painful, the most important issue for educators. Undoubtedly, every parent who is seriously engaged in the upbringing of their child is seriously concerned about this and seeks guidance. After all, everyone should have important knowledge about gender from birth to adulthood. She needs to be aware that she may face gender-specific problems and threats. This is an important point of self-awareness, an important point of finding content as a person.

According to scientists, it is important to start step-by-step care and upbringing of our child from the age of 2-3 years. It is obvious that parents need theoretical and practical knowledge and guidance in order to know the content and content, norms and duration of this kind of education.

In this sense, there is a need for special research and development in the field of continuing education by sex education professionals. Indeed, mistakes made in this regard can lead to negative consequences.

Today, along with useful information, unethical and immoral information is coming through social networks. It is very important that our young people receive adequate moral and sexual education so that they have solid knowledge and faith protection against such threats.

Does it mislead young people or prevent problems?

Barno SULTONOVA, journalist:

- I do not see anything wrong here that misleads young people. Is it a lie that girls go to the gynecologist before the wedding, which raises suspicions in the community, and mothers do not take their daughters for examinations, so that they do not have such suspicions, and they miss the disease, which leads to serious consequences? ? Or what about incestuous marriages? What is the downside of talking about the unhealthy birth of children after a marriage between relatives, explaining it from a medical point of view?

Recently, a cousin’s daughter became pregnant with her eldest child before the age of one. Because the mother lost a lot of blood during childbirth, her life and that of the baby were in danger. So far no one has taught her that it is acceptable to keep an interval of at least three years between births.

The mother can simply say, "Save." If this issue is fully explained in medical language, for example, "what is protection, what are the benefits to the body, how long does the body recover," the young mother would have formed the right understanding .

These days, there have been reports on social media that a 21-year-old girl had a child before she was married and was caught selling her child. Why did that girl become like that? This girl had not yet been sexually educated at school or university, so how could she have gone astray? Would she have been more careful if she had been explained to this girl what sex is like from school, the harms of it before she got married? Wouldn’t she give birth to a child out of wedlock?

There are several closed groups for women on the social network Facebook. There will be gynecological questions from many anonymous women, young brides. Everyone shares their experience as they know it. Unfortunately, among the anonymous questioners, there are those who do not know what sex education is, so their family is on the verge of collapse. Isn’t it time to admit that one of the causes of family breakdown is also a lack of preparation for sex?

I interpret the purpose of sex education classes as follows: prevention of venereal diseases, early elimination of gynecological diseases in girls, safe pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy and its prevention, prevention of cancer and precancerous diseases, adolescent reproductive health - timely attention is paid to the complex and physiological variability of adolescents on the threshold of puberty.

An important form of education.

Oynisa MUSURMONOVA,

Deputy Director for Research, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor of the Research Institute "Mahalla and Family" under the Ministry of Mahalla and Family Support:

- Sex education is one of the most important forms of education and plays an important role in the development of the individual. It is one of the most ancient forms of education, not one that appeared today or yesterday. From time immemorial, the components of sex education have been inculcated in the minds of young people on the basis of situational, necessary, step-by-step principles.

Grandparents and parents were the main educators in the education and upbringing of the sexes in the family. With no emphasis on this form of upbringing, the discipline is brought up on the example of the values  of the people, with the demands of everyday life. The goal was to ensure the health of the nation, generations, offspring, the birth of children with disabilities, the prevention of family separations, the preservation of the nation's gene pool. A simple example would be that our grandmothers would sit on the floor, "Get up, child, it's impossible, you'll get sick," "Don't walk in the winter, you'll be a mother tomorrow," "A heavy load." "Don't get up," "Get in the habit of getting up early," "Keep your body clean," and other sexual teachings.

In addition, new brides are required to keep young mothers who are mothers forty days chilly after childbirth, to lay them on hot ashes, to tie their waists and to wear belts, to give the young mother a specially prepared, non-painful abdomen, habits such as feeding with spicy foods, not going out at night are aimed at maintaining the health of all body parts of women, creating the basis for the birth of healthy children.

Or if the boys are drinking, sniffing or smoking, the adults will say, "Son, tomorrow you have to be a father, you will leave a healthy offspring, don't give in to this evil, it's very harmful." they would say. You see, all of this is an upbringing that has been practiced since time immemorial, and they in turn are a unique part of sex education.

Not only in adolescence The world is evolving rapidly, unnatural things are dominating over natural things. It is, of course, a simple axiom that affects the sexual education and upbringing of our youth.

In sex education of young people, it is necessary to pay special attention, first of all, to the formation of national characteristics, national and universal values, and to be based on modernity. Because it is necessary to approach each issue from the point of view of modern requirements, which is one of the requirements of the development of society. In addition, consciousness can be divided into several stages according to the age and psychological characteristics of the individual (kindergarten children, primary school students, adolescents and young adults, adolescents and students). , should be gradually absorbed into thinking. If the content of education is formed according to the age of the child, the expected result will certainly be.

It should also be noted that the lessons are not detached from our national spiritual values, customs, traditions, worldview (bringing the European experience in this way or directly from their visual aids in the teaching process. can not be used properly!) is advisable to carry. That is, sex education should be formed under the oriental veil.
