A Report On Beijing Normal University Sexuality Education Program

The National Survey of Secondary Students and Sexual Health is Australia’s most comprehensive report on

During 1920s, U.S. schools began to incorporate sex education to their courses. A 2002 study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that “58% of secondary school principals describe their sex education curriculum as comprehensive programs provide factual information about birth control, sexual transmitted disease, and continue the message to children about waiting to have sex.” (Johannah)

Sexual education in schools has become a highly controversial topic over the past few years. Some people believe students should be taught abstinence-only education, while others believe students need the full on “sex talk”. While the sex education controversy may seem silly, it is very important that students receive the most efficient education possible. When it comes to education parents want their children to receive the most effective kind. This is also very true in terms of sex education. Sex education is very debatable right now as to whether students should be taught abstinence-only education or comprehensive sex education.

Sex education should be implemented at an early age beginning at the middle school level. A discussion of contraception, the risks of diseases, the risk of becoming an unwed teen parent and the disadvantages of not having an education will help decrease the number of teen pregnancies with future generations. Parents should not feel threatened of having their children learning about sex in class. Parents should feel empowered; it will allow their children opportunities to feel they are able to discuss future topics of sex at home to help promote

Sex-ed is very important in children’s life. It could help children develop a health relationship in the future, and also could avoid risks. Parents’ support is essential for the quality education. Some parents may disagree about same-sex relationships or gender identity due to their different cultural and religion . Government could share more information to parents.

Sexual education is an important topic which as to be addressed due to the growing debates as to weather it should be implemented within the school system. The Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education states that sexual education curriculums addresses a range of topics including “puberty, effective contraceptive methods, prevention of STI/HIV, communication skills, sexual orientation, interpersonal relationships, and media literacy” (Public Health Agency of Canada). Children need to address such issues early in order to protect them from early initiation of sexual activity, sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. The issue is then weather or not parents support such a program.

Sexuality is an intrinsic part of being a human being. Hence, it follows that as we grow sexual development is normal and for most a point of curiosity. In an age where even a curious five year old could ask the internet where babies come from instead of asking their parents, it is becoming increasingly evident sexual education is a necessity for the sexual health of America’s youth. Sexual education is an important class that should be integrated into the public school system in order to prevent the problems of teen pregnancy and STDs such as HIV. The CDC reports that in 2015 about 230,000 babies were born to teen girls aged 15-19 and that nearly half of the 20 million new STD cases reported in 2015 were among young adults between the ages

Sexual education teaches adolescents about the use of birth control, their bodies, STD’s, and pregnancy. Due to the awareness of sexual education, adolescents are more careful about sexual intercourse. The pregnancy rate has reached the lowest in modern era between 1990-2010. It declined to 51% pregnancies per 1000 females ages 14-19 to 57.4%. This is the lowest recorded since 1973. Sexual education was not offered in schools until 1983 and many people had close to no knowledge about the options. Even though teens today are aware of their options today, they do not take proper precautions.

It has been almost thirty three years since the first federal funding was put to use in “. . . sex education programs that promote abstinence-only-until-marriage to the exclusion of all other approaches . . .” according to the article “Sex education” (2010) published by “Opposing Viewpoints in Context;” a website that specializes in covering social issues. Since then a muddy controversy has arisen over whether that is the best approach. On one hand is the traditional approach of abstinence (not having sex before marriage), and on the other is the idea that what is being done is not enough, and that there needs to be a more comprehensive approach. This entails not only warning against sex, but also teaching teens about how to have

In terms of what I can do to help – I would start targeting local schools that have minimal or non-existent sex education because everyone should have the chance to learn about the diversity of sexuality. Since I didn’t go to school in Hong Kong before University, I don’t have the connection that is needed for me to approach local schools and promote the diversity of sexuality or even volunteer to teach a lesson on the different possibilities of sexuality to little kids. However, I have some local friends that have graduated from some local schools that have very bad sex education and I think I would first recommend them to take this course then when they completed this course we can return to the schools that they have graduated from and volunteer to teach little kids more about the diversity of sexuality – especially I would definitely touch on about sex, gender, and sexual

One of the hardest academic challenges I had faced was during my Peace Corps services as a TEFL instructor at Sichuan Tourism University. After working with the students for over a year, I had realized there was a huge gap in their understanding of human reproduction. In China, especially rural China, there is an extremely sensitive and embarrassing subject for parents, friends, and teachers to educate others on. I was growing concern about how little my students understood this topic, as I had gone with three of my students during my time of services to abortion clinics (which are located everywhere as they are very common thing in China). I had decided that many of students would benefit from a few classes on sexual intercourse that would

In addition to this, education should be aimed at adults and children alike, regardless of gender. A study of sexual and reproductive health conducted at schools in Kelantan, Malaysia revealed shocking statistics that could have perilous implications (5). According to the researcher’s findings, 69.96% of the students were unaware that pregnancy could occur after having unprotected sex only once, and 64.4% indicated that they learn about sexual health from their peers (5). Misinformation and inadequate information on sexual and reproductive health are catalysts for dire situations such as unwanted pregnancies and child abandonment.

According to a study in 2013 by National Vital Statistics Report, a total of 273,105 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years (qtd. in "About Teen Pregnancy"). Children need to be getting a better education on sex during middle school and high school to be better prepared if they decide to engage in sexual activity. Sex should be taught from a different approach than in recent years. Sex education should be incorporated in all schools starting around 6th grade and continually throughout high school because teachers can give a better understanding of sex which will reduce the number of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections(STI). The early start of sex education would benefit the kids in the long run and will make the

In Malaysia, the Cabinet ministry has permitted to introduce “reproductive and social health education” in the school curriculum after years of consideration. 160 pages of guidelines were produced by Ministries of Education and Women, Family and Community Development. The guidelines covered varied topics related to sexuality which included topics like contraception, kind of touching that is permitted, risks of online predators, teenage crushes, sexual orientation and HIV/AIDS.
