Sex education talks resume
THE SEEMINGLY never ending discussions over sexual education in Panama’s public schools resumed in the National Assembly on Thursday September 1.
The Health Commission of the National Assembly began consultations on the bill that would mandate the inclusion of sexual education in the curriculum.
The commission, chaired by Deputy Crispiano Adames, was attended by approximately 20 representatives from various organizations who are for and against the proposal.
The bill was previously approved by the commission, but the full assembly returned the bill to it for further consultations to achieve a consensus after strong opposition from religious geoups.
