I refer to the article here: "VIRAL LETTER: STUDENT CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SEX EDUCATION IS CONDUCTED IN HER SCHOOL"
First, what is the Ministry of Education's (MOE) position on the influence, direct or indirect, of the teachings and values propagated by religious organisations in public schools?
How many courses are being taught by religious or religion-linked organisations at our public schools? What are the type and content of such courses, and what is the nature of these organisations?
Second, what is the MOE's review and approval process, if any, before permitting such courses in public schools? Are independent checks on such courses conducted regularly and properly?
Third, are such courses compulsory for students, regardless of their religious affiliations?
Lastly, is the full and frank disclosure of the name, nature and inclination of any organisation (including parent organisation, if any) conducting such courses revealed to the students and their parents?
Perhaps the MOE could enlighten us.
