This resource package has been compiled to assist curriculum planners to design HIV/AIDS/STD education programmes for their own school systems, for students aged between 12 and 16.
Studies have shown that sex and AIDS education may lead to a delay in the onset of sexual activity, and to the use of safer sex practices among those students who are sexually active.
However, curriculum planners often lack examples of curricula, classroom activities and learning materials.
The programme presented in this package is based on participatory methods, as these have been shown to be particularly effective for the teaching of behavioural skills.
