Evidence-based Sex and Relationships Education

Evidence-based Sex and Relationships Education
Experts suggest that a good curriculum for sex and relationships education covers three areas: facts and information,
relationship and interpersonal skills and values.23 Others add that it should also address perceptions of peer
norms, attitudes and intentions.24 While some programmes continue to focus on human biology, reproduction,
hygiene and marriage, others have expanded to include information on physical and emotional development and
STIs and HIV and AIDS. More broad-based curricula also cover contraception, abortion and sexual abuse.
