Sex education
Ms Gumba said although sex education figures on the secondary school syllabus, most teachers shy away from the subject because of the “potential embarrassment” such lessons might provoke.
``The right syllabus should assist teachers in instilling values, virtues and discipline among students, but due to the nature of the society we are in, many find it hard to call a spade a spade,” she said.
In the survey at a top boys’ school, 85 per cent of the students questioned said they believed looking at pornography in magazines and on the Internet was on the rise; 73 per cent said they themselves had looked at pornographic material — generally described as featuring “a young, attractive sexy lady” — and that the addictive practice had negatively affected their academic performance.

Its suprising how fast people forget. Most of the parents today were students just the other day. U might argue that things hve changed today but teens will always be teens. Back in the day they had their ways, n teens today have the net. Stop hiding from the obvious and tackle the issues constructively

Students flock my cyber in groups of between 2 to 5 when released for outings, crowd on one computer and start enjoying. A check of what they were surfing tourns out to be porn. I am a teacher and I have found that that the only way to change this behavior is to introduce them to good internet activities. I have found it work. You now can see many want to check the routes to their homes, their home compounds and other features on Google earth.

l think there is also a sexual issue that the writer has neglected to mention. Homosexuality. Kenyans have chosen to demonise this and pretend that it does not exist.l can assure you that it is rampant in boarding schools and nobody dares talk about it apart from condeming it.
