INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Sexuality education begins at home. Parents and caregiver are/and ought to be the primary sexuality educators of their children. Opportunities to discuss sexuality issues with children occur on a daily basic.

According to SIECUS (2009) Sexuality education is a lifelong process of acquiring information and forming attitude, beliefs and values. it encompasses  sexual development, sexual and reproductive health, interpersonal relationship, affection, intimacy, body image and gender roles.

From the moment of birth, children learn about love, touch and relationship. Infants and toddlers learn about sexuality when their parent talk to them, dress them, show affection, and teach them the names of the parts of their body. As children rows into adolescence, they continue to receive message about sexual behavior, attitude, and values from their family in an informal way. sexuality is also learn from other sources such as friends, television, music, books, advertisement and internet which are all forms of informal way of learning.

The formal ways of acquiring sexuality education include planned opportunities such as faith communities, community-based sexuality education as well as Abstinence-only in sex related matters, the school –based sexuality education is often comprehensive and as such provide certain guidelines in form of objectives to be achieved at the end of the programme. The school –based sexuality education provides accurate information about human sexuality, it provides opportunity for people to develop and understand their values, attitude and insight about sexuality, help young people to develop relationship  and interpersonal  skills among others .These scope and others such as human development ,relationship, decision making, abstinence, contraception, and disease prevention are what makes school-based sexuality education differ from other forms of sexuality education.

Yet sexuality education is not been currently taught at the secondary school level-a level that can referred to as transitional level in nature, from childhood to adulthood .the reason for these decision by the federal government, state government and local government as well as ministry of education is not certain to the ordinary citizen of this country, but it is certain that it is neither because sexuality education is irrelevant nor is it because students do not want to learn about it.
