"There are limits to what children can be taught.
There's no need to explain in detail what takes place before a woman becomes pregnant because all that information is beyond a child's understanding," he
said it was more important for children to comprehend issues like relationships, religion, chastity, and what they should do or refrain from doing.
hoped the authorities would review the content of the Year Five health science textbook to determine whether it was appropriate for 11-year-olds, adding that this was to ensure that it would not have any adverse effects on their moral upbringing.
