The life orientation curriculum is hooking up with the 21st century.

From next year, textbooks for pupils in grades 4 to 12 will reflect a “cutting edge” curriculum that treats masturbation, sexual consent, gender nonconformity and single-parent families as mainstream.

Sex therapist Dr Marlene Wasserman , one of 80 experts who have overhauled the curriculum, said: “Masturbation is normalised and it is threaded through [the curriculum] from grade 4. It begins with self-pride, self-image, body diversity, genital differences, genital changes and touching oneself for pleasure.”

While grade 4 pupils would learn about consent in friendships, older pupils would learn about sexual consent. “The curriculum was geared for the 2020 South African learner: who is he, she, they? A fluid, gender nonconforming child raised in a family of a mom and an absent dad,” Wasserman said. Hayley Walker, chair of Protective Behaviours Southern Africa, said the textbooks were long overdue because “too much many life skills have been left to chance”.

It's a shame

This is good thing maybe if the boys can learn about self pleasure in early age the be less rapist or none💪

LIES! The education department has already disproved this! TimesLive! What do you expect from the biggest fake news providors and liers in the news world?

We lost it as parents. what is parenting? We need to guide our kids. We give kids condoms to have sex. We allow them to masturbate in class. We are sick parents. Really are OK as parents? . Definitely not OK upstairs. This is sick or desease.

Well at least the click bait campaign worked... Sensationalism at work...

So much bullshit

This is good thing maybe if the boys can learn about self pleasure in early age the be less rapist or none💪

This basically proves that Britain and the USA still own SA because this curriculum was proposed by the US to use in SA and it's been implemented in UK schools for the past decade!

Can our kids drop/skip this subject? Its proving to be more harmful than helpful. Whats next... they learn sexual positions in grade 7? No thanks!

Aaaaaa

Wondering,what if they ask the teacher to do it practically.✌🏿

totally uncalled for. based on what research is this recommend to be truely beneficial?

Marlene as usual you are a witless and ignorant savage in the norms of civilised society! To call you a blunt instrument is being kind , stay out of our children's minds and lives , you have NO rational reason to be there !

💚💛🖤 proving themselves🤣🤣🤣 Thr won the elections ryt? This is it ke🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 We are being led👊🏾🤣🤣😑😏

This is absolute nonsense...Grade 4s really

Haibo

I see distinctions in LO.

😯😯this means trouble

I think parents need to step up for our kids to stop those who endorsed these stupid and crazy laws

Too late!!they're already doing it.😂

Does this include the Private schools? 🤨🤔

Siek wereld🤬

Ridiculous. .next legal sex at 12 😠

Gosh! I have a 4th grader.

This Is The Perfect Time For Us To Miss McrDrive Content Ntjaaka Vince_Manganyi 😂😂😂

This is bullshit.. Why are they so concerned about sex education.. Why not teach kids skills that will make them successful in life.. Grade 4 it's too early for that nonsense

Should be taught by Maths teachers. Life teachers get 1 +1 = 3

This screams for me ' sex'ani bantwana..qhubekekani'....heart-breaking...

There goes my vote

🤢🤢🤮

Heaven help us all

MYANC is deliberately messing up the education system to guarantee it’s voting fodder

Bloody disgusting!

If yall took time to read the article you wouldn't be commenting like this yaz..... anyways it says 'While grade 4 pupils would learn about consent in friendships, older pupils would learn about sexual consent'. Please read further and stop embarrassing yourselves

so gender nonconformity is really a thing

🖕🏻🤢🤮

Teach them IT.. coding ..skills 😯😯😯

The end is near

Bantwana bethu bafunda a masimba stru.

This crazy big time

What a load of sh1t

Please do try and do this without my consent as the legal guardian of a minor. I will see you in court quicker than what you can blink.

We can not let this happen, 1st they told us how to raise our kids and stop spanking, now our kids are disrespecting anything and everyone, now they want to teach our kids how to have sex,they dropped the standard of education 4 this, jesus put on your sandals and come down now

Nkari ke tla e pulela skolo....

jvnaidoo Disgusting holly crap what is the goal here?

Are we creating pervets or lesbians and gay's?

What the fuck r they teaching our kids

Disgusting at that age. 9 year olds. Why put stuff in their heads that need not be there yet. Whose sick idea is this. What the hell is the benefit

No wonder China is beating most of African countries with technology

iQaba105 It's high time as Women of South Africa stand and say No. They should introduce self development classes.

I would want to watch porno with my son at that age soo he will grow knowing what men do, coz tyme has changed,the world is up side down

jvnaidoo Why would you teach children about masturbation... No man... This is next level disturbing

Go and and study so you can be qualified to design the curriculum ..akere they doing it for you

I pitty the teachers....

I do not like this.

As a Grade 5 educator, I am SO uncomfortable with this! They are still babies, so what about the Grade 4's? S.A's education system is totally corrupt! I can understand why there's a brain drain in this country. We need to pray for our nation.

Sifike njan kulamanyala

Te fcuk!

No wonder our population numbers are out of control !!!? YourANC teaches kids to be sexual then promotes kids having sex and then pays them to have kids !!! 🤦‍♂️

Haaai for ntoni 🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆

What,,,,,,, this is madness

Not my child

WTF.... Who got the mustarbation tender now?

😱

Aibo

This must be the reason why Mr Lesufi left his occupation

why not learning about soldering and identifying resistors colour codes...? mcm yazi mara.

I also learned about masturbation when I was doing Grade 11,If it wasnt that English teacher I wouldnt have known anything about it probably until varsity.

Who came up with this? We need a new government really

No

Our kids should just go learn in China... 😥

There is nothing like that

This would of been useful information before we voted 🤔... why did you have to wait till the Sunday AFTER the elections to bring this information to us?🤔... This definitely would of influenced some people's choice of party that they voted for🙄

Aii no.

Instead of teaching kids investment

Instead of shouting on Twitter you as parents should get organized and go to those departmental offices to voice your concerns. It's time to get involved in your children's education not howl from a distance 😠😠😠😠

Bathong, just_Hope6 bona

When they are going to teach them about money 🤷‍♀️

What does a grade 4 learner need to know about masturbation. They're literally 9 years old (that's if they started grd1 at 6yrs)

What is this now?

Aya_Tengani

Why are we still taking our children to school vele,this is complete gabbage

NhlahNgubane I will stay in Foundation Phase forever,thank you!

This is what it has come down to...all tights observed and no responsibilities taught what are we saying now we encourage 10 yr old to masturbate so they don’t do it and feel ashamed so those that disinterested even know about it will also get the lesson and this leads to....

I often wonder what these people, who force children to study these demented teachings, home life is like. Are they proud in subjecting their children to this.

Angie Motsega is sick

No. Cn we lv it at grade 7 plz

Bana kua moshwa mawatle ba ithuta ka 4th industrial revolution rena re pisi re imetsa bana katsa phaku

alba_zulu This is nonsense in all honesty. Why is Africa such a cursed continent? Hai vok maan

My daughter is in grade 4 now, and while we have had to do the basic sex talk last year, after her hearing about it from older kids, she is too young to learn about this, you educators who approved this should f off and quickly. 😡

Thats it! My kids will be home schooled, this is nonsense

They damaging our kids bantu education should come back

CyrilRamaphosa Our president won't allow this.

Maybe they could learn to read as well?🙄🙄🙄

'... 2020 South African learner: who is he, she, they? A fluid, gender nonconforming child raised in a family of a mom and an absent dad,” Wasserman said. These 'experts' are simply aping the childless secular cultural Marxists busy indoctrinating kids in the West. Resist.

some kids won't even wait to get home to practice what they'll be taught in class but rather start there in school toilets...

Wow 😔😒

Hayi our country needs to slow down now! It's going the wrong direction!

Sis Angie, are you suffering from mental disorder

Policy and Curriculum makers are captured by invisible and evil forces to destroy South African education...thus getting rid of SA future for good.

What nonsense is this? 😠😠😠😡

We trust you lesufi to have a good look at this.. This is just unbecoming!.. Lead us, dear sir.. Smells like an 'enabling' spirit this !

Why is the ANC importing the craziness from Western countries? We are not a country of the godless.

Bloody amazing what this government comes to with. I suppose that they should also have a class about politics. How the learners parents vote for some idiot party like the ANC and EFF, then get screwed for the next 5 years till it is voting time again and they get free Tshirts.

😲 is it necessary though? Religious education is necessary hleng.

It's not even inauguration yet booooooom true color's 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

_keketso_master Hai! Hai! Hai!

Kgabane

😂😂😂

Lol, the agenda is real...

😂

The Ink has not disappeared and the devil shows his hand in S.A Government ka Ramaphosa

For some reason this is kind of disturbing even to read

What fuckary is this? LO is just a waste of time and resources. Teaching 9 year olds how to masterbate?

African O African, what is wrong with you!!!!!!

MYANC e dira masepa fela. This is stupidity at it best. We are not going anywhere as black people. Chinese are laughing at us.

Wow 😞

I think its cool. It just feel awkward when u think its your kid... Grade 4 and 5 at boarding school we had no education needed. Kids teach talk educate each other far better safer and without embarrassment.

🗣️NONSONSO 🗣️MACHILA

This is disturbing 😠

Nonsense

What utter nonsense!

That it is so sad... Mxm!!!!

my son at 10 years will be exempted from such nonsense!

This is really disappointing....what are you telling these kids🙄😢

No wonder we come last..No pun intended

First of a they ALREADY know. Secondly....what is wrong with education in this country?

Why do kids need to learn about pleasuring themselves I hope this is just a bad written article

About time

Now these are the things that erode MYANC vote. Please PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa Fix our education. Rather replace this with VoterEducation.

Im out of words .how is that going to benefit our kids.i didn't send my child to learn that shit at school

Re metlae serious 😂

This is too much

Do they also learn about saving money, investing and other important economic chapters?

This can't be it, grade 4 kids are too young to be exposed to such. It's already daunting to teach them about their bodies now you want to teach them about pleasuring themselves, come on government can do better than this. Please respect us as parents!

This is crazy

Good for them

So they would rather teach the AFRICAN CHILD how to touch themselves inappropriately ,rather than TEACHING them Practical Financial Skill like how the STOKE-EXCHANGE MARKET WORKS...!!!

😱😱😱

I suppose that's more important than them learning fractions and BODMAS.

Ot is not 1st April today, is it?

Only in SA where we can’t read write add or subtract.

It’ll probably end teenage pregnancy bcoz they’ll be learning about self pleasure before sex 😌 I like this.

The doffies are and will remain a bunch of wankers while the hard workers will study maths, science and economics.

The system deliberately setting us up for failure

It’s about time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!! Soma add the safe sex chat after that.

OMW wrong turn atleast they should tech kids about technology 😳

We don’t find this shit in private schools

80-90% Grade 4s cannot read but ANC gonna teach them to play with themselves. Perfect skills for politicians.

Who is behind this madness

ANC didn’t waste time giving y’all what you voted for 😂😂😂

Actually! I feel like masturbation shouldn't be something that's formally taught😞 one must explore it themselves. I can't imagine what an awkward class it'll be. They're too young to be exposed to such

Teach these kids about financial literacy and enterpreuship. By the way I feel grd4 is so young😪😪 what has SA come to? early exposure of such will cause problems

LukhaQengqeleka uyazibona ezinto bendizitsho

Who comes up with this shit, grade 4

Hard subject to get yr hand around

Pathetic. Our education is run by myopic politicians who have never been in the classrooms. Especially the Mecs. Teaching kids irrelevant curriculum instead of technology.

Good people please download CAPS ducument and buy textbooks and start home schooling your children.

This is wonderful. We need a comprehensive and inclusive sex ed curriculum. Norway and them have it and look at their teen pregnancy rates. Sex ed starts as early as 5 years of age. We're doing well.

For the why?

Yes yes of course.

Looks like we will end up homeschooling our kids, Who ever came up with this shit has already started teaching his about masturbation

In china Kids are being taught IT and other useful things while in SA they want to teach about masturbation...

Joooo

The teacher who talks to my kids about masturbation before I've done it, will get a bloody nose that's for sure.

I think it's ridiculous teaching kids about this in Grade four. My God what will happen next teach them how to have sex! Do they do this anywhere else in the world?

To tell the truth, parents underestimate the level of growth this kids are experiencing. Things have changed now i will volunteer to teach L.O. I knew endless nights of porn would come handy

Votile votile

Satafrika eish just after voting boom our bundle of Joy's are going to learn about masturbation

I can safely and positive say rape will fecrease by 98%😂😂😂😂 this is for our women.

I thought the President CyrilRamaphosa wanted all grades to have entrepreneurship as a compulsory subject. What will masturbation help our country with? AngieMotshekga DBE_SA PresidencyZA BDliveSA dailymaverick HRC dailysunsa SowetanLIVE Taung_DailyNews LesediFM IOL

Halala MYANC. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Very alarming subject

Id rather homeschool my kid than for him to go through such at the age of 9😭 ElelwaniAngel yoh hai hai. Tryna traumatize our kids

This is out-of-control crazy! These are 9 year olds! Why does the state believe that they should be teaching this? Who is in charge? No matter the answers, parents need to HOMESCHOOL and get these kids out of the system!

My son is in grade 4 kubi shem

WTF😲😲😲

Mastur. . .what?

I thought LO was going to b cancelled.waste of time subject If u dnt get distinction for it ur a lost cause 🙈

Why?

Its what you voted for

Stele

fana_lemane Waisting precious time teaching them about something they can do with no assistance or not at all, just like we were taught about the thorex of an ant, so much that did for me.

Teach them to read properly first, for God’s sake!

And they'll be given tablets...what is then stopping them from watching porn? While first world countries are teaching their own how to do write computer programming, algorithms and all, preparing them on how to make a living in the 4th industrial revolution.

What's next, bathong

What the actual hell?

What fuckery is this?

Master bateing

I teach Life Skills in Grade 4 and I'm not even going to have a discussion or a lesson about that. Andizi.

A government of wankers in charge of children's education.............. You think this is going to end well?

Did Malusi Gigaba draw up this curriculum? Or is he gonna be one of the teachers for this?

Ba feleletse ANC 😂😂😂😂😂 Alllluuuuuukaaaaaat

Gemors!

This makes no sense to Grand 4 learners

And then am labeled as strange when l homeschool my kids 🤦🏽‍♂️

Lesufi What's going on?

ThonisileG Kodwa Jesu 🙆🏼‍♂️ ngomtanami she will come back with weird questions

😐🤕not black consciousness no, but

When are they going to make computers compulsory for Grade 4s?

This is not a bad thing in my opinion, teaching children about their bodies, self pleasure and that sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of is key, I just feel like it shouldn't be prioritized, we have a lot to improve in our education system, sex can wait!

You voted for them so be it. 😜😜😜

They'll teach you how to Masturbate 🍆 but not how to be Rich💵💴... Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦 🚮🚮🚮

This is BS. Lesufi Please fix our education before it goes to the dumps.

This is absolute nonsense

I think my child will have to skip grade. Who and where can I bribe?

The biggest nonsense I've heard so far. Gr4! Thats standard 2. That's 9/10 year olds. Life orientation is in any case a useless subject and should be removed from the curriculum completely.

Parents must stand up against this garbage without any delay and never allow it to go ahead. Satanists keep your garbage away from our children. This shows no regard for the rights of the parent to guide children without being polluted by immoral garbage.

Amen

Mara what bullshit is this☹️, instead of learning about coding they learn rubbish, come on CyrilRamaphosa how true is this?

Grade 4s right now:

Kwenziwa ozishumane zamantombazane nabafana worse kukhuthazwa nothandano lwesini esinye ngoku iintsana zethu zinyanzelwa kwimfundo yasentshona ukuba zibe ngo mama in tata instead of creating more special schools around the country in all areas of our provinces kunzima ngesibhulu.

For the why?

Omg! My little baby girl will be 9 years next year and doing grade 4. Nooooo i am not ready

Wtf 😱😱😱😱😳😳😳

Nd ul c parents doing nothing abt it

This is very unnecessary.

That's anc for u, don't complain. U voted for it in power just few days ago. Imagine you wake up in the Wee hours of the morning to vote So that your kids can be taught at school how to masturbate. Am leaving Satafirika🇿🇦

What sick joke is this? 😳

Gotta be kidding me

Dr Wasserman dit klink vir my jou seksorgane is besig om te jeuk.

There is no way on this green earth that my daughter will learn about that in school.

Haybo guys abantwana.......

To teach kids to be comfortable with their bodies ,well done

What!

This is what you guys voted for ryt?

Hello home schooling to my future kid/s. Am not going to condone such a mental eroding behavior.

What value will it add in their career and future

This is out of hand

Technical skills zona?

Yah neh!! Let's go on and ruin the country. 😓😓

Where's Zuma's tittle deed?

The minister must demonstrate to each and every school if she think it's good curriculum.

Yes 😂to avoid rape cases

Its about time parents got involved. This is nonsense.

Life orientation is such a useless subject, moreover when it's taught by an unprincipled educator.

Wtf?

What is the objective of learning about masturbation

Lesufi NalediPandor CyrilRamaphosa AngieMotshekga is this for real! Are you gonna shove this down our throats...!

While Chinese teaching their kids technology.

SihleMurdo I give up and they are busy saying we are short of Artisan but busy teaching kids how to masturbate.CyrilRamaphosa is this how you intend to built SA.

Lesufi EducationGP EducationKzn

...I wouldn’t thought any country that consistently returns an anc “govt” was already pretty damned proficient at wanking....

Why is everyone talking about China? It seems like such a depressing country

So our daughters will be learning about vibrators and alternatively cucumbers?

They should be learning about how to be entrepreneurs but I guess the ANC see masturbation as more of a priority

I need to make money ngeke sending my kids to private school ayikho lento

do grade 4s even get horny?

i guess my kids gon have to be home skooled this ain't good 😂😂

We are fast reaching a crescendo. Our very liberal constitution is putting our values to a very strenuous test.

This is just rubbish mani nxxx

Why?

Fine teach them this, but teach them coding too. Just make them wipe their hands before they touch the keyboard first.

Can people read the article before commenting.

Can we have parents involved in these decisions, that's if this is true coz really I don't believe our country can be in such an appauling and disgusting state!!!

Nazo...

lol but how do you teach it. How do you teach kids masturbation .. In class. All of em staring at you.

Teaching a minor about how to pleasure themselves sexually is the most paedophilic thing I’ve ever heard. WTF?

SaneleW2 Instead of putting computers in classes and teach about AI...you want to teach kids in grade 4 about jerking off? Whaat? I’ve got to leave this country.

So now we gonna send our children to school to learn about mistubation🙄.the whole elder teaches a baby how to mistubate.whoever came with this idea is not a good parent to her/his children

Absolutely nothing wrong with this curriculum change. Read the entire article in context of our county's shocking sexual violence statistics. According to the article, they will be taught right through their schooling career up to varying degrees of depth on sexual issues.

Mom: What did you learn today at school Junior? Junior: Masturbation mommy.

WHY early sexualization of kids a priority?Such continued misdiagnosis of problems could only have detrimental consequences.I can't believe this satanic agenda is now being ascertained in our schools by these clueless education officials. Time to take kids out of public schools!!

Thats what you get if you rule for over 25 years....you run out of ideas..but guess people don't understand that hence they were voted back into power so brace yourselves masterbation

🤔🤔👊👊👊

SandiNkabi Gta

I am deaded

This is Satanism now what are you teaching kids

this will raise rape cases but we live in a 666 country .... Its bound to go this way.

Satan in schools

Yhuuu!! If they want us to homeschool our offspring they can jus say !

Nonsense

I don't understand why we were taught how to label locust and flowers .

This is utter BS, exposing kids to this is criminal. The one and only thing kids need to about sex is 'stay away', 'dangerous'. Now it seems they want to teach them about all sorts of sexual orientations and what not aswell. No, my kids will skip these classes.

Tomorrow we will be saying we have corrupt leaders when we feed them junk today.... The evil you pray for shall prevail for Jah fire keeps blazing.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

We are grooming Pornstars...

Was not aware, a grade 4 learner is 9 or 10 years. What are they teaching our children.

I'm skipping that !

Opening a can of worms

hayi hayi hayi what kind of Satan has possessed the ANC government kodwa nkosi yam

do they have a choice ? can they say no to all disgusting PEDOPHILIC nonsense? and the popular tv shows are all to do with sexuality, even a clear hint at pedophilia e.g EsencaneLengani slowly desensitizing us 4 more pervetions , only we they get sick n die will they turn to GOD

Read the whole article and still believe that our system lacks creativity towards equipping young people with the relevant tools. There are many topics that are avoided in schools which contribute adversely to the unemployment rate ...

You voted for it in the elections

MYANC is this what we voted for? Is this the curriculum we must teach? 😔

What the hell is our government thinking or are they thinking at all. Is this an invasion of idiots on our social structures.

Life Skills 'My Foot'! This is none other than an attempt to further advance population control of, particularly, black traditional communities. Perfectly consistent with that Alice Bailey's Ten Point Plan for the New World Order

THAT’S BULLSHIT!!! 😏

DBE_SA I feel like this government not taking us parents in to consideration, how do you get such curriculum without getting parents involved, our children are ours and we should take part in this kinds of decisions on what is taught at schools.

Sies!! Imbeciles are in power. How are our kids supposed to compete globally? I will never understand the MYANC government.

Bagaetsho 🙆

iamthebe_m They're going to try it😣😣

and he pervertion continues even to kids so u can indoctorinate the children, its only the beginning , we let sex become a measure of our humanity, we exchange the NATURAL with the perveted, nobody is learning about GOD no more bt they can learn about SEX SIES🤮🤮🤢

What the hell? Why not introduce use of technology? My child would not attend that class

...keeps us behind as a nation.😞 u find a 34 year old parent not knowing anything about Tax, insurance, investments, Constitutional rights, or at least basics in agriculture. But they have been learning about sex ,puberty, HIV peer pressure all their lives. Sex ain't esoteric 😒

How do they pass this masturbation subject? Is it a practical exam? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ANC

Amen 🚶

SaneleW2 My child can't be exposed to this bull Sh*t ,what the hell😨

CallMeNjebs The devil is going full throttle. But SA, thank the government you keep voting for.

Thank goodness my child is in grade 6..otherwise I'd find her fondling herself as part of homework 😡😠

First lesson of masturbation, dont do it into a sock 😂

That's A.N.C for you.

They can't even read, how will they...never mind

What about the land..🙆 I'm happy I voted for the EFF

Teach them, respect, dangers of drug abuse,smoking, alchohol... Masturbation can not be taught, it's a personal choice, its something one can master without being taught..

Political education must start at Grade R.

Sexual knowledge over technical skills huh? The agenda your pushing is disgusting

Mbeki introduced them to abortion at the age of 12 now Ramaphosa is introducing them to masturbating at the age of 10

Seriously Angie is clueless about Education, we need a new Minister. Please MYANC CyrilRamaphosa DBE_SA make a change

FloydShivambu MbuyiseniNdlozi LeighMathys DSGmkhaliphi GardeeGodrich EFFSouthAfrica

Angie couldn't wait. Look what your votes are doing

drizzle_rito This is absurd! Who approved such nonsense? What is there to learn about masturbation?. It's something you figure out when you're ready to explore your own body. Garde 4 kids are babies

Kids in Asia, Europe and North America are being taught how to code while our kids are being taught how to masturbate. Unreal!

I was writing with home schooling, my boy will not touch a school

Wait what 😲

Shaya ANC give them what they voted for nonsense 😂🤣

It's getting extreme IVotedANC

Nonsese

Don't please that thing is addictive

What the reason being.?

This is unbelievable I hope it doesnt become the norm in a classroom looking at playboy magazines!

I can imagine niquita_jones giving this lesson. 😂Kenylikiz

Y'all shocked? This is what I found in a grade 3 LO textbook

Bathong!!!! AngieMotshekga

Teaching children nonsense instead of teaching them to make watches and phones.

Haibo Jehova 😳

Instead of teaching them farming and business, But they decided to go for indlwaphu

Heading so misleading while the content say something else but hey thats ANC for you

🎲

Hawema liyabhubha

ANC continue

Yup. That's definitely the golden tool which is going to fix our wrecked education system.

No this is madness really

Bullshit

Comprehensive sex education should start at grade R .

The Cyril Ramaphosa administration and its shit. The 30% pass mark thinking standards is destructive to Our future generations! This is another reason yo boycott schooling! Vana va dyondzisiwa ku chokocha na mchachaphansi!

When are they learning about coding too

This is criminal idea,it should never happen

Ok maybe not grade4 but this is important sexual education is important I had my period at 10 (grade 4) I knew absolutely nothing about what was happening to my body no one at home explained anything .I was given pads and expected to figure it out. This is important

Minister of education : 'yep, lets teach these kids self pleasure at their tender age, teach them when their young right'

I hope this is fake news. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Teach them while they still young😂

Just like drugs , Masturbation is very addictive.....viva ANC Vivaaa

Oh noooo😰😰 can we as parents be involved when such decisions are taken. This are our kids for crying out loud

Hai suka

We see you Sunday Sun

like really

The headline is a click bait guys just read the article.

BoysieNjabuliso

Live orientation.... may be they should rather ditch this useless subject and start teaching skills again like woodworking, electronics, tuping, computer skills.

Astonishing

Ok...just to put this into perspective, Grade 4 is STD 2...

Although the headline is misleading and the actual article talks abouy teaching kids about consent then later in higher grades will touch on sexual consent I.e. with options to mastubate instead......as a LO teacher myself I say NO

Wtf is this

Is this even for real?, must be a syllabus set up by a bunch of perverts and paedophiles.

Wow!! Bad times indeed.. 🤨🤨jesus is not coming back

What about life skills like paying tax,buying houses,how to save,fix things.fix cars, but no let’s teach them this cause that’s the clever thing to do.

Right up there with Byzantine architecture and neoclassical artwork🙈

Instead of teaching them how to respect women and elders to them, they teach them this nonsense This education system is used to kill the brain of Africans

While other countries' leaners they are learning science n technology, n we expect to compete with such countries

You voted, so said ur voice ur vote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let me shut up and be grateful I only have a dog...

Finally learning about something the will apply in real life💃💃

For what?

Hee'ban

Thixo waseGeorge Goch.

Imagine standing in front of the class of 10year olds and teaching them how to 'pleasure ' themselves 🙈. Very disgusting for me

Haibo nkosi,

Checked my 9 year old granddaughter s Grade 4 book when she was chatting to me this morning I picked up that she had an inkling about sexuality Me: what do you mean. I opened the can of worms. Me:where did u get that from? School. but I did not find it

Disgusting!

Is it for both government and private schools?....I find this to be disgusting

Is that even necessary though

Our education system 😪🤦‍♂️....

This is shocking and unacceptable

Why can’t they learn about respect, humility, humanity, good manners, non-racialism, non-sexism, budget, etc?

I think it's a good thing while some parents are ignorant about these things, it's their job as life orientation teachers, Technology and stuff you are complaining about will be covered it thier classes coz we can't teach how to fix computers in a life orientation class.

Haibo, why not child abuse🤔 cleaning our environment n climate change?

My goodness....😯😯

Why not teach them coding?

Jo weee next is around the corner 🙈 BrianMonaheng

Improve STEM education in younger learners, not damn masturbation - esp not in Grade 4! Rather introduce this in their later schooling years. I'm convinced South Africa's education system is designed to stunt kid's growth and not to develop their full potential

Hmmmm. Let’s see. Should we teach coding or wanking?

Sex education is always good. I hope the teachers have been trained well on teaching such content to children. We don’t want intolerant, conservative teachers doing the same shoddy job some parents do at home. Shaming girl children and building entitlement in boys.

Who came up with this one now. That person does not have respect for parents, let alone the future of these children. Sies, he or she must be ashamed to be sitting in the decision making position. Izwe lilibi kangaka. Makaxolise.

now u teaching our kids to rape, I don't know who's coming with this stupid curriculum

Headline is totally misleading

what !!

the headline was written by a retard and some commenters did not read the article

Anc

That’s what 50%+ ppl voted for. MYANC doesn’t take education seriously, how is masturbation gonna add value to the future of SouthAfrica. Lesufi please provide context for this sir?

😂😂

So the teachers who’ll conduct this lessons won’t be tempted to trial sex on our kids? Despicable. I suppose age rated 18 SVLN will soon change to 9 SVLN. Sies!!

Whyyyyy, there's a lot to learn than masturbations. Can we let them be creative atleast

Whats the purpose of masturbating?

Yet they cannot read or write.

This headline is misleading leditsebe 😥

The fourth industrial revolution is upon us n kids are learning such...

Financial literacy maybe

Teach our kids about consent!!!!!

They already know about that ...

Who approved this nonsense SAGovernmentZA

How old are they know? 9yrs 😏

Why not teach them something useful like 4IR, now u r saying u can go do this ijooo

And I'm sure that teachers would be on hand to assist leaners to practice masturbations. Right...

Hope they won't teach them how to do it

A_C_D_P ANC is so cruel!

What the hell?

While Grade 4s in china are being taught how to code...🤦🏽‍♂️ 4th industrial ntoni ntoni ya khona le ?

Hayiphume icawe!

This is the reason we have teenagers involved in attempts of rape.

The article is about sexual education in its totality, about consent and gender fluidity ect. It's a great start since parents dnt educate their kids on sex, especially what consent is and means.

Are you serious?,Are they going to teach 9 yr old how to masturbate

Oh NO can that ever be true !!

Meanwhile in Tokyo Grade 4s are learning how to assemble a computer😩

Lucifer doesn't hide himself anymore, cry the beloved country.

After teaching them, they'll go home and masturbate. Find out it's one of the best feelings ever. Start watching porn, start having sex, make babies and not reach high school. Why aren't we teaching these kids entrepreneurship

I have NO words!!!!!!!

A_C_D_P I will be telling teachers what to teach my children at this rate. Absolutely unacceptable.

So out of 80 experts none thought this is rubbish, not even one said we need to rethink this, I cry for our country, truly shocked

I take it the person writing the headline is not the same person writing the story? And neither reads what the other wrote? WOW

Madoda😲! Is this the new world order they are talking about

That is very good. Others start at 9 years I'm a withness.

Why introduce such topics in the first place, Grade 4 nogal?

Yah neh

We let grandpa Cyril and grandma Anggie to decide for our children future, those pensioners can't think any more. eff we can't allow this, we sent you to Parliament to counter this nonsense

Nonsense and shit and kak. Kids in some Asian countries learn technology and here were want kids to learn about how to play with their genitals. This is kak mxn🤔🤔🤔

Will the LO teachers do a demonstration infront the learners since this is a difficult concept for little ones? DBE_SA

Well since some of them know how to operate smart phones probably they a thing or two about porn

Just tossing their education away...

I wish I was thought that at standard 2, because I always feel I am doing it wrong.

Peer kids in China a taught technical skills like assebling gadgets and we are teach ours to masturbate, and in gr 12 they obtain a pass even at 35%. Hayi ngeke let world end now.

What does 10 year old children have to know about masturbation? Truly disturbing. letkidsbekids What is happening to our education system? Who makes these decisions for our children? Where are the parents voices? They need their heads read

Lesufi Leadership are we sure of this move? In fact Life Orientation as a subject

😶

WHAT? 😵

Lesufi AngieMotshekga CyrilRamaphosa what’s happening? This be the 4IR you be talking about?

Yoh this is wrong😧

I teach grade 5 life skills. Do these people know how small these kids are? The topics we cover are just fine. Maybe grade 6 and 7 but grade 4. 😱

The 21st century education is focused on STEM and here we are condemning our kids. We need to transform our education . We need an Afro centeicneducation on Ubuntu etc

ANC political school must adopt that in their curriculum to reduce high rape rates in our country

Soo wrong😁

This is nonsense

Nuwe suid afrika. In 10 jaar se tyd sien ons seker orals kinders hulle self bevreding en niemand werk nie want hulle is te fokken dom.

This is so wrong... 😭

Absolutely unbelievable. Liberals and Communist are pushing the envelope in every possible way to create a fucked up society.

Instead of learning technology, how to manufacture modern things eish Africa why.

For what exactly?

Now we are taking it too far.

Isn't that 🔞topic 😠😠

This should help with education in a fantastic way 🤣🤣🤣

What the hell is Treats Masturbation
