On the reactions around the issue of sex education,, AKEL's press spokesman George Koukumas referred via a written statement, firing new fire at DISY and AKEL, stating that they have "regressive views".
"The attempt by the Minister of Education, Prodromos Prodromos, to block the latest adoption of the draft law on sex education is not only institutionally unacceptable. It is first and foremost revealing of the regressive anchors that pervade the Minister of Education and the Coalition government and all those who are aligned with the most conservative circles of society. Everything that the DISY government and the leadership of DIKO remembered to put forward today - after years of debating the proposal in Parliament, without raising any objections - are cheap excuses," the AKEL press spokesman said.
He goes on to say that "their anchors have no basis. Scientifically based, pedagogically adapted, comprehensive sex education at all levels of education is a right of children and young people. It is also a proven shield to protect the younger generation from all kinds of risks to their lives, health and well-being. It is also one of the most important tools in the fight against sexual abuse and exploitation of children."
