| | Sex education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sex education is a broad term used to describe education about human sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, and other aspects of human sexual behavior. | | | Education on reproduction typically describes the process of a new human being coming into existence in stages including conception, the development of the embryo and fetus, and the birth of the new baby. | | | A common approach to sex education is to view it as necessary to reduce risk behaviours such as unprotected sex, and equip individuals to make informed decisions about their personal sexual activity. |

| | Sex Education that Works |
| | Sex education, which is sometimes called sexuality education or sex and relationships education, is the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. | | | Sex education seeks both to reduce the risks of potentially negative outcomes from sexual behaviour like unwanted or unplanned pregnancies and infection with sexually transmitted diseases, and to enhance the quality of relationships. | | | Sex education that works, by which we mean that it is effective, is sex education that contributes to this overall aim. |

| | Sex Education |
| | The sexual education of adolescent children is presented to parents as a necessary and legitimate course of study. | | | Where the question was once whether or not sexual education should be taught in public schools, the fray now questions the methodology of what is being taught. | | | With more and more sex ed teachers focusing on abstinence - often against their better judgment - many students are not receiving the kind of information those very teachers feel they need, according to research by the Alan Guttmacher Institute. |

| | Islamset -Sex Education |
| | Sex is an important area of marital life, and when people are in trouble they have only the doctor to resort to: and unless the doctor has had some basic teaching of sex, he or she will be quite helpless to help out. | | | It is our firm belief that facts about sex should be taught to children in a way commensurate with their age as they grow up both by the family and the school. | | | We have done this in our medical school as part of the gynaecology and obstetrics program. |

| | NPR : Sex Education in America |
| | Although there may be some disconnect between the breadth of sex education Americans want taught and what is actually taught in many places, parents whose children have taken sex ed generally like their school's program. | | | (Whether the child had attended sex education in school made no difference in parents' assessments.) In answering the question about what worries parents most about their child ever having sexual intercourse, parents of girls (41 percent) were more likely to place psychological well-being as their top concern than were parents of boys (31 percent). | | | Twelve percent of them say sex education should not be taught in schools -- a small number, but three times the percentage found among non-evangelicals (4 percent). |

| | "Sex education" |
| | Most of the professional sex educators are being taught the Kinseyan model of human sexuality. | | | IPPF's publication, Human Sexuality and Personal Relations (Sexualidad Humana y Relaciones Personales), for the Western Hemisphere Region, states that sex education methods should facilitate the understanding that there is no one model of sexual behavior, but on the contrary, that there are diverse types of sexual behavior which are all acceptable and respectable. | | | Children, especially teenagers, are learning in sex education courses patterned after Kinsey, that all sex is good in and of itself and that it is fun. |

| | Furthermore, in some cases—for example in some African-centered schools—single-sex classes are established as an extension of the educational and cultural goals of the school, whereas in other situations the relationship between the single-sex classes and the overall aims and context of the schools is not always clear, or at least is not explicit. | | | Laws such as Title IX aimed at preventing sex discrimination in education, as well as changing norms regarding women’s and men’s roles, have emphasized access to the same educational experiences in school for both sexes. | | | Furthermore, this approach emphasizes the notion that students are expected to use education not only for individual advancement but also for promoting and empowering their community. |
