 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• Background of the study

Sex means physical activity between people in which they touch each other sexual organs and which may include sexual intercourse. (Oxford Advanced Learners dictionary). While sexuality means the total behaviour or total expression of whom we are as human beings. Sexuality also encompass our total development i.e. our mental attitudes, values, physical appearance, beliefs, emotions, likes, dislikes, and all ways in which we have been socialized.  Sexuality education is the process of acquiring information and forming attitude and belief about sex, sexual identity relationship and intimacy. Students are so curious about themselves and all that affect their lives sometimes they ask certain questions about themselves which required parent’s response. They ask questions like where do babies form? Why is my breast getting bigger, why do I have hair in my private part among others. Questions based on what they watch, films television programme, magazines they read. Blanet (2001) state that it has now been realized that it is much better for young group and secondary school students to acknowledge the fact they have sexual desire and recognized that this is entire natural, any problem that emanate as a result can be dealt with more effective than when children are access to sex education and what it presents. Sex education affect inductile behaviour and help children, family to develop into effective family member respectively. Sexuality education provide factual knowledge essential to the feature of anatomy and physiology of human and animals reproduction which every educated person should have sex education intimate and solidified pure health attitude towards sex and reproduction. According to American Committee (2000) once add that sexuality education, social economic are physiological phase of human relations, how they are affected by male and female relationship. It also emphasizes attitude development and related to association between the sexes. According to Herigard (1971) said that students that are teenagers pass through a period of stress and storm in education as their sexual urge is at strongest, the change from childhood to adult is an especially dangerous time in the life of students, who are teenagers. Sexuality education programmes to students create, productive and reproductive health issue for the society, pregnancy, childbirth, and sexually transmitted infection are major contributor to the attitude towards sexuality education programmes in the society. There are also strong effect of development, characteristics such as early puberty and high level of hormones (i.e. festoerme) which are associated with sexual behaviour, among students.Sexuality education is a continuous process and as the children grows, they continue to receive messages about him to have appropriate behaviour and values, as they develop relationships, they watch their families and the social environment. They also learn about sexuality education from sources, outside their homes, friends, teachers, neighbours, television, radio, music, books, and magazines. Since the introduction of sexuality education into secondary school curriculum authors of most science text books have introduced the topic into their text books sometimes restricting it to the last chapter. Other writers are still skeptical about the topic and the need to include it in their books. If the aim of introducing the topic into school curriculum is to be achieved, all authors must include it, talk about it in their write ups. Readers who are mostly students should be made to get the right knowledge of sexuality education directly or indirectly through the books. Sexuality education is very important for virtually everyone. It is especially important for those in their secondary teenage years who become pregnant and deliver babies out of wedlock.
