A good thing about Pakistani society is that we are not expose to 'sex' as much as people here in America . So at school level it is somewhat safe even if not totally . But at college level (10+) it should be a must . This is the time when youngsters are more independent and pron to experiment with stuff . But I won't limit this education to 'sex' but to 'sex, hygiene & drugs' .
If government cannot do it then some student bodies or other organizations should volunteer to educate students . Awareness is a huge issue when it comes to health problems in Pakistan .
I agree with M3, there is a need for people in Pakistan to be educated in contraceptive methods.
Unless I am wrong, I thought there were many NGO's who distributed free contraceptives (but again it would be in the man's dept to decide whether he wanted to use it or not.)
Talking about sex education in schools, there are many children from poor families who CANNOT go to school AT ALL, so how can they learn? Their parents are often too poor to support the whole family so they send their kids out to earn a living too.

The problem is that most Pakistanis, even the educated ones, act like** three wise monkeys**, when it comes to sex education. They don't realise that if this issue is addressed in Quran and ahadees then there is nothing filthy or immoral in talking about it.
I agree to the logic that it should not be taught in PRIMARY schools, based on a western sex education model. But what is wrong in start educating on higher school/college level, with an Islamic perspective!
