Bhutan
officials visited the Social Development Research Center (SDRC)
on August 30. The visit is part of a two-week study tour of
various schools and offices in the country to improve the
officials’ knowledge about promoting health and sex education
among the youth.
The officials were interested to learn about youth-related
problems, such as early marriage, pre-marital pregnancy, use
of illegal drugs, STD and HIV/AIDS, peer pressure, prostitution,
suicidal tendencies, and such. They also familiarized themselves
with programs and interventions implemented for the Filipino
youth.
