Paragraph
Paragraph text
According to a study by the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP), in East Asia most countries had sexual education policies, and many had had them since the early 1990s. Of the cases studied, the policies most widely implemented were those of Papua New Guinea, Mongolia, the Philippines and Thailand. In addition, since 2009, progress has been made in the implementation of public policies and national laws in several countries. However, although some form of sexual education is provided in the region, most young people do not receive comprehensive sexual education.48
