NEW DELHI: Soon, there will be open discussions in classrooms about drug abuse, homosexuality and reproductive health. With adolescents becoming more and more vulnerable to drug and sexual abuse, CBSE is set to introduce from next year adolescent education in the curriculum for all classes from KG to XII.
Named as Adolescence and Reproductive Sexual Health Programme (ARSH), it will address issues related to nutrition, health, hygiene, physical fitness and mental health besides drug abuse, reproductive and sexual health and HIV-AIDS.
There will not be a separate subject on it but the topics will be covered through activity-based programmes.
"Topics related to sexual changes at puberty, substance abuse, myths concerting the reproductive growth of a child and sexually transmitted diseases will be a part of the curriculum," said Usha Ram, principal, Laxman Public School, who was a member of the committee constituted to prepare the module.
