The guidance outlines the process for developing a national school-based sexuality education programme and provides step-by-step guidance on how to introduce new or improve existing sexuality education programmes. The Guidance is designed to build on a curriculum framework as a model that maps out the process of developing a sexuality education programme using this framework. This model should be adapted to reflect national differences in the education sector.
The publication is targeted to decision-makers in educational programmes working on the policy level and technical working groups whic translate a generel framework into practical documents and procedures.
The objectives of the publication are to:
- provide guidance in the process of developing, implementing or improving sexuality education programmes,
- provide advice about who should be involved at different stages of its develpment,
- provide suggestions for seizing opportunities and for meeting challenges in the development and introduction of sexuality education programmes.
