SEX EDUCATION REVISITED: SCHOOL-BASED SEX EDUCATION
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii „Eftimie Murgu” din Resita. Fascicola de Stiinte Social-Umaniste - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Sex education is still a taboo in the Romanian education system: schools promote the idea that families should teach about sex, while families claim schools should do that. This paper is an attempt to answer such questions as: Who should teach sex education? What should sex education emphasise? What should sex education not emphasise? What should be the outcomes of sex education? The use of the theoretical propositions provided here will allow a more systematic and ultimately fuller understanding of how sex education should be taught in schools. This understanding would be useful to educators in their struggle to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The research method used in the study is content analysis of references regarding sex education. Findings show there are differences regarding who should teach sex education – the parents or the schools. It is not clear yet if sex education should emphasise abstinence or teach about homosexuality, and it is not clear if sex education reduces or not teen pregnancy. Several conclusions can be drawn: sex education should be taught primarily by parents, sex education should also be taught in schools, sex education should emphasise values, sex education should not emphasise abstinence, sex education should reduce teen pregnancy, schools should teach about homosexuality.
