SEX EDUCATION: A DISCOURSE OF SEXUALITY
Abstract
ln spite of the difficulties surrounding the issue of whether or not the schools should provide sex education classes, it is clear that adolescents need accurate information about sexual interactions and a way to examine and reflect upon this significant aspect of their lives as weil as to consider their own responsibilities. The schools can make a useful contribution in this area, yet problems will result from too narrow or partial an approach to decisions about the content of such a programme. RÉSUMÉ En dépit du caractère épineux de la question de savoir si oui ou non les écoles doivent offrir des cours d'éducation sexuelle, il est clair que les adolescents ont besoin d'informations précises sur les interactions sexuelles et de moyens de réfléchir à cet aspect important de leur existence qui n'est pas sans incidence sur leur sens des responsabilités. Les écoles peuvent offrir une précieuse contribution à cet égard même s'il faut s'attendre à des problèmes dus à l'étroitesse ou à la partialité des décisions portant sur le contenu de ce genre de programme.Downloads
