Two committees to review school text books, including sex-ed book

Two committees have been appointed to review the content and pictures in school text books and revise them accordingly, a senior Education Ministry official said.

He said one committee would examine whether the text book content creates misconceptions, leads to rifts between communities and religions and whether the pictures and colours used to give a wrong interpretation.

The committee will give its recommendations for the government to revise the text books for next year.
