Indonesia's National Commission for Child Protection has blamed the country's school curriculum for an incident where two students were filmed having sex in a classroom.

“Our schools give too much work to students and the curriculum taught provides no room for them to develop emotional intelligence. As a consequence, schools tend to pursue excellence in the national exams,” said the Commission's chairman Arist Merdeka Sirait.

According to the Jakarta Post, the video of the two students having sex subsequently went viral. The parents of the female student have claimed their daughter was forced to be in the video and the male student in the video has gone missing.

Police have questioned 17 people, including 10 students, the school's principal and vice principal and two teachers.
