A St Lucia organization is calling for national dialogue on whether condoms should be distributed in the country\'s schools.
Teenage pregnancy is said to be a problem in St Lucia and the health authorities have expressed concern about young people, including pre-teens, having unprotected sex.
St Lucia has also recorded over 600 cases of HIV/AIDS.
The AIDS Action Foundation said it\'s time to openly discuss the matter.
But President of the National Principals Association, Cyrus Cepal said he sees no reason for condoms to be distributed in schools.
According to him, the item is already easily accessible to students.
