Please make school curriculum gender sensitive & all inclusive ( LGBT, disability)
We need inclusion!!
The students of India need to be aware of LGBTQ. Including these subjects in education is a great start.
It’s high time students were taught about the diversity of relationships, in an age-appropriate way…so including LGBT content in the National Education Policy, not only as a way to prevent bullying etc, but also because it’s the right thing to do – kids need to be given all the knowledge they need through education to make their way in the world. Not just some.
