The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) on Monday made clear it is not trying to get controversial Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) into local schools through the back door.In fact, the Washington-based institution told Barbados TODAY on Monday that it “has no other agenda than to support youth development through the strengthening of public education policies and programmes” in this country.CSE, a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about the cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality, has faced resistance in the United States and other Caribbean countries amid concern that it promotes sexual education in an unhealthy and disruptive manner.Questions were raised about the possibility of the IDB trying to slip CSE into the school curriculum after revelations that a survey administered without parental approval to first-formers in five secondary schools, as part of a Computer Science project the lending agency is administering, included questions about students’ sexuality and gender identity.Asked by Barbados TODAY if the IDB was trying to facilitate, in any way, the introduction of the CSE agenda in local schools, or whether the Bank supported implementing the process here, the financial institution’s Country Department in Barbados replied: “The answer to your question is ‘no’. The IDB works in partnership with its member countries to support each country’s development agenda.”
