Basic Education Office prohibits condoms vending machines in school

The Office of the Basic Education Commission will not allow the Public Health Ministry to install condoms vending machines in school, Kamol Rodklai, secretary general of the office, said Monday.

Kamol said he understood the Public Health Ministry wanted to campaign against HIV spread but he did not think that students would have so much sexual urge that the machines needed to be installed in schools.
"There is a plenty of shops to buy condoms. Installed in schools, the machines may encourage premature sex. It could turn into a double-edged sword," he said.
