O knihe

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, Uganda Christian University, language: English, abstract: The paper discusses the policy of introduction of sex education in Uganda schools. It is presented in phases, starting with the introduction which gives the background, definition of sex education; the case for and against sex education, conclusion and recommendations or way forward. The background traces the historical perspective looking at the history of HIV/AIDS in Uganda, the measures put in place to fight the pandemic and the introduction of sex education as one of the mitigating factors.

The main body looks at the main points of contention in sex education. These are the preventive factor which covers vulnerability and age of first sex encounter; closing the gaps, that is, between children and parents, demystifying and or counteracting the bad and wrong information, preparing for and initiation into adulthood, defense and safety measure and lastly the religious aspect of whether to save the soul or the body. Each of these is discussed for and against.

This is a survey that was carried out at random among the parents in Eastern Uganda, and other elders and religious leaders. The paper is basically descriptive in nature following a post positivist paradigm.
