Netizens hit NYC chair over proposal for separate boy, girl classes: May classroom shortage na nga paghihiwalayin pa?

Netizens are in disbelief over the proposal of National Youth Commission (NYC) chairperson Ryan Enriquez to have separate sections for boys and girls in school to avoid teenage pregnancies.
In a television interview, Enriquez said male and female students from Grades 7 to 12 should be put in separate classes to minimize their chances of being with each other. He said frequent interactions with the opposite sex could lead to a girl becoming pregnant early.
Human rights activist Frank Baraan IV said what teenagers need is proper sex education, not segregation.
“NYC Chair Ryan Enriquez proposes classroom segregation for girls & boys, to prevent sex. What teens need is an honest & unapologetic dialogue on sex—SEX EDUCATION & the ramifications of having sex early: STDs, teen pregnancy, & single parenthood—not this unpragmatic poppycock,” he tweeted.

Netizen @AngryPosseDon said Enriquez’s plan would be a challenge to implement considering the shortage of classrooms in public schools nationwide.
“Perhaps NYC Enriquez have no idea that as of late, @DepEd_PH have classroom shortages. Research muna kc wag tanga!” he said.
