This report explores the need and impact of introducing sex education curricula in high school institutions in South Arabia as a key strategy to limit the irresponsible sexual behaviors that continue to corrupt and destroy the future of young people.
A study conducted by Horanieh reveals some of the damaging effects lack of sexual education has on children, such as the increased spread of sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, justifying the need to introduce sex education in schools. Sex education will promote the aspect of individual responsibility and self-consciousness among children, which is the most vital strategy in controlling sexual behaviors among high school students. Implementing a sex education curriculum in Saudi Arabia will demand the corporation of various stakeholders such as educational institutions, parents, the ministry of education and religious organization to ensure its positive impact on society. The project will explore the various impacts introducing sex education to high school students will have on the student’s sexual life and how the ministry of education can successfully introduce and implement the curriculum.
