Marcos supports Comprehensive Sexuality Education
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared that Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in schools is "very, very, very important" to address rising issues like teenage pregnancy, single mothers, and sexually transmitted illnesses.
Marcos emphasized that CSE is crucial for educating young people about the consequences of early childbearing and the available options they have.
The President linked the lack of proper knowledge on pregnancy, childcare, and nutrition to the challenges faced by teenage mothers.
His statement came in response to questions about the continuation of CSE, which is implemented under Department of Education Order No. 31.
