  • OBJECT TO CSE IN SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS

    After receiving many queries from the Muslim public on the new and controversial Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) program that the Department of Education plans to incorporate into the South African curriculum, the South African Muslim Network (SAMNET) has put together some research on this very important issue (link below).

    The CSE curriculum has ignited public outrage due its graphic and age inappropriate content. By delving into the private realm of parenting, government is seen as crossing the line. Furthermore, the Department of Education has stated they have consulted widely on the curriculum however there is no evidence to support this statement.

    We encourage the Muslim community to object to the introduction of Comprehensive Sexuality Education to South African schools. Write to the Ministers of Education.
