Abstract

ABSTRACT

Adolescence is generally agreed to be the period between the ages of ten and nineteen Adolescents are at risk of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS, poor pregnancy outcomes with consequent disrupted education and career goals. This descriptive cross-sectional study examined institutional behaviours as factors influencing the methodological approaches to sexuality education in semi-urban secondary schools in the study location. All the teachers in the five schools in the locality were recruited for the study. A pretested interviewer administered questionnaire was employed to elicit information in each school. Data were analysed using independent t- test. The mean age of the respondents was 33.94 and 154 (71.3%) of them agreed that there was no deliberate official plans for sexuality education in secondary schools. Sixty-one percent of the participants also agreed that there was no time to handle academics and sexuality issues at the same time, due to the workload, while 154(71.3%) disagreed that the counselling unit was adequately staffed. A significant difference existed between Christian and Muslim schools in the pattern of methodological approaches to sexuality education. There was also a significant difference between private and public schools in the pattern of methodological approaches to sexuality education. It was therefore recommended that teachers should undergo sex education training, and necessary methodological approaches should be implemented in each school to improve adolescents’ sexuality knowledge.
