A new set of 50 -related profiles related to Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) will be launched today during a webinar hosted by the GEM Report, Health and Education and the UNESCO section of Sweden.
The country’s profiles respond to the need for better data to monitor the progress of the CSE and are manufactured by UNESCO’s Global Education Monitoring (GEM) report and the UNESCO section of health and education. These profiles are available on the GEM report’s educational studies website (Pierce) profiles, which also host the country’s profiles on other topics that are central to SDG4.
CSE Country profiles are manufactured through international promises, national laws, policies, action plans and programs reviews and synthesis and provides a comparative approach to the development of countries in relation to CSE. They cover all regions of the world and all levels of income. Although they provide a combination of national rules and regulations, including laws, policies and decree, as well as in sectors or development plans and strategies, the purpose of profiles is not to examine or discuss the implementation.
Each country profile covers five major fields: 1. Context; 2. Terms; 3. The rules and policies; 4. Governance; 5. Monitoring and diagnosis
A brochure published online is with the launch of these 50 profiles. It reported the steps designed to evaluate the progress and identified the key trends observed, which suggest that many countries recognize the importance of sexual education in their education plans or scenes, but this space is in their legislation and policy framework.
What do profiles about comprehensive sex education suggest?
Combined with the GEM report of the Health and Education teams and the UNESCO section has taken 47 steps to assess progress in the CSE. The figures below report 9 of them.
Of the 50 countries …
Several positive trends come out
- Most countries have some kind of legal framework for CSE in education and/or in most public health. I UrgentineComprehensive Law of Sex For,,,,,,,,,, for,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,, for,,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,,,, for,, for,.Law number 26.150Jes (2006) CSE recognizes state and non -state educational institutions and all educational levels as a right. I ZambiaIn the Education Act (2011), any educational institution has provided rules and regulations for the development and adoption of guidelines for promoting sexuality, reproductive health, HIV and AIDS and personal relations. ‘ I Liberia, The Public Health Law (revised in 2019) established the right of all adolescents to achieve the highest standards of appropriate and gender -sensitive sex education and to access sex and reproductive health care services.
- CSE cover policies or projects are far more frequent than laws, suggesting the desire to progress on the sex of countries. I Coat Dyeer, The national policy of sex, reproductive and children’s health (2020) has been highlighted that the teaching of sex for adolescents and young people should be adapted to their specific context and needs, and should support consultation and modern contraceptive, forced marriage, and other types of sex and violence. I PhilippinesDeclaration of Comprehensive Sexual Education Enforcement Plays Leaders strives to ensure effective delivery of CSE. I LesothoThe 2016-2026 Education Sector project outlines strategies and measures to tackle HIV, health and welfare to tackle a cross-cutting problem. Specific purposes include the implementation of aspects of CSE and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and the mainstream of HIV/AIDS in the sub -sector activities of education.
- Legislation and policies promote integration in CSE’s formal curriculum. General Education Law (Law 115/1994) Colombia (1994) has made it clear that sexual education is mandatory in all public and private institutions, which offers formal education at the level of pre -school, basic and secondary education. Each school can determine its sex education programs and teaching strategies. I VietnamDecision 16/2006/QD-BGDđT and Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT have demanded the inclusion of sex education content at the basic level at the General Education Program. In most countries, the topics related to sex are integrated into numerous subjects. I Sierra Leone, Leaderships for the national curriculum framework and basic education (2020) orders SRH education for preliminary and junior high schools and integrates it into five subjects: social studies, integrated sciences, religious and moral education, domestic economics, and physical health education.
- Service training for teachers is mostly in countries. In Argentina, the Mandate of the Resolution CFE N ° 340, which covers the acquisition of comprehensive, sophisticated and scientifically verified knowledge on various dimensions of the pre -service Training CSE, as well as the acquisition of children and adolescents with its education essential skills. I Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Teachers have to undergo 40 hours of service training and 40 hours pre -service training before teaching CSE articles.
- Schools play a key role in providing sexual and reproductive health services. I Liberia, Public Health Law (2019) states that schools want to provide information on where to access sex and reproductive health services. Malawi National Education Standards (2015) states that once schools identify students living with early pregnancy or HIV, they will have to support their education and care. I South AfricaIntegrated School Health Policy (2012) states that a package of services on the site that includes sexual and reproductive health services should be provided in all schools. I Vietnam, The Ministry of Health’s Follow -up Project Affairs Document Aims for 80 % of schools that plan to provide reproductive and sexual health care for adolescents and young adults.
- Comprehensive sexual education is often a joint responsibility between several states and non -state actors. I Ripper– I NigeriaThe National Council on Education formally approved the curriculum of sex education for use in Nigerian schools in 2001. It was developed through a partner and consulting process, including all regions of the country as well as NGOs of international agencies.
Despite the progress continues, more work remains to be done
In most of the reviewers, there is some kind of auxiliary legal framework for the CSE. Although legal frames do not guarantee their implementation, they are an important pillar to ensure a policy activation environment. The relations between CSE and SRH services need to be strengthened by comprehensive health and education policies. Further efforts should also be directed to fill out the difference between the rules and policies and practically the difference between the differences. Sexual education is essential, but it is not happening everywhere. And very few countries already have service training to prepare teachers to teach sex education.
It is rare to allocate the budget for sex education, even in the countries that have recorded the most progress in the area. In terms of surveillance, only a few countries collect data to track how sexual education is well taught and learned in the school.
It is important to raise awareness about the CSE and to include all stakeholders to inform the young population of the issues that promote comprehensive societies. In this way, the follow -up work of the countries needs to be removed, raising awareness, informing all stakeholders and guiding implementation.
