BASIC SEX EDUCATION IS CRITICAL, BUT HOW CAN SCHOOLS BE CONVINCED TO

INCLUDE IT?

Introduction

Sexuality education is another term for sex education. It is the proper teaching and

learning of numerous sex and sexuality-related issues. It covers male and female genital

anatomy, menstruation, intercourse, and contraception methods, as well as birth control, STDs,

pregnancy, and a wide range of other topics. The goal is to communicate accurate information

that is necessary for building partnerships and preserving one's own sexual health. Every parent

and teacher has a role to play in sex education. It is preferable for teenagers to acquire accurate

information from their parents rather than being misinformed by periodicals, friends, or online. A

massive variety of issues relating to sexuality and sexual health are covered in a thorough sex

education. Body image, abstinence, contraception, gender, human reproduction, human anatomy,

pregnancy, and safe sex are all covered. It entails giving information on birth control methods,

sexual attitudes, sexual health and behavior, sexual orientation, sexual pleasure, and sexually

transmitted diseases, among other topics.

The importance of sexuality in one's identity cannot be overstated. Teens learn about

sexuality through a variety of other sources, many of which have a detrimental impact rather than

a positive one. It is up to you, together with the school and other community-based groups, to

give your growing teen with correct sex education.


Rationale

It is a widespread saying that young people require knowledge of how to build positive

relationships and health-related abilities. According to research, school-aged children tend to be

better about their sexuality, physical well-being, and sexual health. While the main sources of

information are the media, parents, and peers. What they know is incomplete and even

confusing. Unwanted teen pregnancies, illegal abortion, mortality, and sickness among teenagers

are all linked to a low rate of educational attainment, little to no sex education activities, and

suppressed attitudes toward sex. Adolescents require accurate, evidence-based information and

education on sexuality, sex, and reproduction. They should receive the essential sex education

from their teachers at school.

They must be educated and well-informed so that they can make positive and safe

decisions before engaging in any sexual activities, as well as be accountable for their own well-

being and human relationships. Sex education in schools has been shown to be beneficial in

avoiding and reducing the chances of teen pregnancy, HIV, and other sexually transmitted

illnesses among teenagers in some studies. The development of healthy sexuality is covered by

sex education. For young students, it is a significant developmental milestone. It gives all

teenagers with information about gender identification, intimacy, consent values, human

connections, and body image positive.
