Ticha Kanticha Chumma
Meet Thai model and actress Ticha Kanticha Chumma who was born in Thailand but spent many of her school years in Sweden, graduating with an international baccalaureate from there. The Swedish school that Ticha attended taught sex education bit by bit from primary school to secondary. So when Ticha was a teenager she didn't find the subject at all embarrassing.
Back in Thailand, she describes herself as being “more broadminded” thanks to her Swedish school’s proactive approach to sex education.
Why is Sex Ed Important
Ticha became aware and informed about sexuality and passionate about the subject. The lessons she attended taught her how important it was to respect your body and have the ability to say “yes” or “no” with confidence. The lessons helped her to develop happier relationships and accept diversity in all its forms. She also learned how to be safe and protect herself.
