ABSTRACT
Teaching sex education in Nigerian secondary schools is an issue of great importance and a matter of urgency, due to the burning problems which pre-marital sex has created and is still creating among many teenagers. These problems among others include: unplanned pregnancies, abortions, school drop outs, sexually transmitted diseases and infections, which contribute to high mortality rate among youths, most especially girls and sometimes permanent stigma, which they live with forever. This study investigates teachers’ attitude towards the teaching and learning of sex education in secondary schools.
The study explored the attitudes teachers have towards sex education in schools, the training teachers received on sexuality education, how knowledgeable teachers are in sex education and the challenges that hinder the teaching of sex education. The data for the study were collected by the use of structured questionnaires. Simple frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the collected data, after which the result from the study shows that teachers have positive attitude and are in support to teach sex education in secondary schools.
