Ho Chin-tsai- who is a member of the Ministry of Education committee in charge of promoting sex education, describes its guiding principles: "Sex education begins from understanding and appreciating one's own body, and progresses to appreciating the opposite sex with which one interacts. In addition, it encourages understanding and tolerance of oneself and others.
