I stand to be corrected when I say, close to 95% of us got that education by experimenting through trials and errors which might become a good but sometimes painfully bad learning experience for us.

It can be traced down to parental negligence at home and school when it comes to "sex education" for teenagers or young adults... and that has resulted to unwanted outcomes. Eg. Unwanted pregnancy, rape etc.

Religion I think has played a major role as the reason why "Sex education" has been a hard topic for parents to discussed with their growing children.

In some climes, teens who has grown to puberty, have started receiving important lessons on the topic. But that hasn't been the case in most part of Africa which brings me to the question...


Why have we neglected sex education in Nigeria... In homes and schools? I am interested in reading your views too.


Thanks

RELIGION!! We don paint the most important part of producing the human population as devils property.

because most subject topics get practical.and lastly,kids of dis generation acts before thinking.

interesting!!!

Sex Education has been touted many times.

But perhaps a good place to start is to first define what sex education means.

When does it start?

What's the scope? What should be discussed and shouldn't be discussed?

How should it be done?
