I was particularly struck by the Minister's comments about AIDS. This is the most appalling problem at present. Education is required, not just in literacy and numeracy but also about sex. There is a serious problem with regard to preventing the spread of AIDS. I attended the conference organised by the Minister of State about a month ago which was held in Iveagh House. I was not there for the entire day but for a large part of it. Some of the talks were profoundly depressing. Some of those who work in Africa said the window of opportunity to get the message across to school children about how AIDS is spread is getting progressively shorter. The age of infection is decreasing in many African countries because it is now better known that the younger the girl with whom a man has sex, the less likely she is to be infected.
