The department of education has hit back hard at a recent report in which the Sunday Times stated that children as young as nine years old would learn about masturbation when the new life orientation textbooks are rolled out next year., which was published on Sunday, sparked debate on various radio talk shows and social media platforms which prompted the DBE to respond.
So from 2020 pupils from Grade 4 will be taught lessons about masturbation, consent, yoga and LGBTIQ amongst others. Dr. Eve even contributed in the creation of a comprehensive sexual education curricula. This is progressive. What a time!Do people who think this grade 4 masturbation thing is actually gonna happen are funny. A friend gave a very mild sex ed lesson to matrics during teaching practice and the school and parents were upset.
The department went on to clarify its plans for the new curriculum, stating: “The new Life Orientation textbook for Grade 4 currently being written does not cover masturbation. The Grade 4s will learn, in a most age appropriate and sensitive way, how babies are made and encourages pupils to share what celebrations they know of linked to welcoming children into the world, such as Imbeleko.”
One of the authors of this new ANC Life Orientation curriculum, Dr Eve points out that: “Masturbation is normalized & threaded from Grade 4. It begins with self-pride, self image, body diversity, genital differences, changes & touching oneself for pleasure.”
