Sexual education 2010, para. 54

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Worthy of note are the experiences of Cambodia, which has an increasingly solid legal framework, continues to make progress in the provision of sexual education with increased funding and has mainstreamed gender into the education process; and Thailand, where sexual education has been included in the compulsory curriculum since 1978 and a manual has been developed for Muslim students. Since 2000, Viet Nam has shown a sustained commitment; education on HIV prevention and reproductive health is included in the compulsory curriculum for children aged 10 to 12 and is taught as an extracurricular subject for those aged 6 to 9.
