Value And Values Of Sex Education

987 Words4 Pages

Sex education is a lifelong development of strong and positive outlook towards sexual health through the process of obtaining right information, practices, relationship and intimacy. The term sex education is often used to demonstrate human sexual composition, reproductive health, sexual contact, contraception and various other characteristics of sexual activities. It addresses all issues regarding sexuality and it’s a complex subject. It’s not limited to classroom instruction but application of the knowledge in everyday life. Anything in this curriculum which informs and prepares the child for his role in life, his relationship to others, facts about health habits, personal development, interest in work etc., is unquestionably preparing him for family living and therefore can be described as sex education (McManus, 1967). Hence Sex education, if rightly understood can lead to responsible parenthood, stable family life and socially accepted behavior.
