Guangzhou municipal bureau of population and family planning is preparing a sex education program for parents in the Guangdong provincial capital city.

The move is to ensure that parents know the facts about sex and reproduction so that they may give clear answers to the questions their children ask about the facts of life.

The bureau decided to run the program because it is clear that children born after 1990 are more frankly curious about the birds and the bees than their parents were.

The bureau last year included sex education classes in the curriculum of grade one students in local middle schools.
