Sex Education That Parents and Children Can Relate to Together

Gwanak-gu to Conduct a Total of 11 Online and Small-Scale In-Person Training Sessions in September

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) will conduct “Sex Education to Empathize and Engage with Children” for parents and students.

The district stated that the education is aimed at parents and students so that students, who are easily exposed to provocative information through smartphones and various SNS, can form correct sexual values and a healthy sexual self.

As part of the Gwanak Innovation Education District project, Gwanak-gu and the Gwanak Education Dure Parent Division jointly planned and prepared the program, which will be held 11 times throughout September.

This education will be conducted in response to COVID-19, combining online classes by target group and small-group face-to-face training.

First, parent education is divided into father education, elementary school parent education, and middle/high school parent education by target group, and will be conducted three times in total via YouTube live broadcast for about two hours from 10 a.m., allowing all applicants to participate without a limit on the number of participants.

Students will be grouped by gender and grade considering their growth and development status, and a total of eight sessions will be held at the 7th-floor auditorium of the district office annex, with fewer than 10 people per session, following quarantine rules in small face-to-face classes.

The district plans to thoroughly comply with quarantine rules during face-to-face education, including temperature checks, mask-wearing confirmation, user information collection, and maintaining a 2-meter distance between participants. The schedule may change depending on the future spread of COVID-19.

Students and parents who wish to participate can check detailed schedules and application methods on the district office website (News & Notices → Latest News → Gwanak News) and apply online via Google by August 31.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “Through this education conducted while complying with quarantine rules due to the spread of COVID-19, I hope that students in the region will form healthy sexual awareness and mature values, and parents will understand the characteristics and desirable directions of sex education according to their children’s physical, psychological, and social development.”
