There are several issues. One is should they be educated and the answer is of course. The second is by whom and by what materials? I do not think they should be shown graphic pictures in a public setting. If it is to be done, it should not be done as it is in the west in mixed classes with boys and girls present at the same time. The best education is for the parents to answer their children's questions, but since many parents are not comfortable talking about it, they want someone else to do it, and then the issues of morality come in, what should they be told and taught? The parents must have a say in this and should approve whatever course materials there are in the madrassa or elsewhere.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
