Kerala High Court – www.publictrustofindia.com https://publictrustofindia.com Odisha English News Wed, 16 Aug 2023 17:19:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Textbooks to incorporate POCSO act awareness lessons in this state https://publictrustofindia.com/2023/08/16/textbooks-to-incorporate-pocso-act-awareness-lessons-in-this-state/ Wed, 16 Aug 2023 17:19:48 +0000 https://publictrustofindia.com/?p=3116 Bhubaneswar: In a first-of-its kind move, the Kerala government has decided to incorporate awareness lessons about the POCSO Act into its curriculum, from the 2024-25 academic session.

Lessons pertaining to POCSO Act will be taught using an integrated approach.

The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is working on this initiative.

The state government’s decision came after Kerala High Court’s observation about the increasing rate of sexual offences against children during a bail hearing.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas expressed concerns about children not being familiar with the legal provisions outlined in the POCSO Act, even if they are engaged in a consensual relationship.
