Perceptions of School Teachers about Sexual Health Education
Dr. Parag Suresh Shah
Abstract :
A cross sectional qualitative study of 35 school teachers to elicit their perceptions about Sexual health education using a pre-tested, semi structured, self-administered questionnaire reveals that most of them felt the need for sexual health education in their school and their formal training for the same. They were well informed about the needs of the students, barriers as well as benefits of implementing such program in their school. Though teacher’s perceptions about sexual health education were positive, culture issues and lack of training were barriers to implementation. Training of teachers to make them well informed and skillful as well as updating school curriculum to include all aspects of sexual health education is the need of the hour.
