Editor,
 
The Ministry of Health has made clear the Government’s stand on the much debated subject of condoms distribution in schools. Certainly, education on reproductive health and counselling in schools and not condoms should take precedence.

It is my firm belief that the youth would unreservedly embrace these as part of Government’s initiative. The topic of condoms use in schools might seem the easy way out but it is undeniably off the beam at present.
