INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
In the past in Christian society, it was assumed that the young unmarried
people (under graduates and youths) should not be troubled by sex problems in
that they would not all thoughts of sex out of their minds. But the youths of
today are very anxious about themselves and all that affects their life.
Sometimes they ask certain questions about themselves which required parents’
response. They equally ask questions based on films they watch, television
programmes and the magazine they read. Blanet (2001) states that it has now
been realized that it is much better for senior secondary students to
acknowledge the faith that they have sexual desire and recognize that it
is entirely natural. Any problem that arises as a result can be dealt with more
effectively than when children are deprived of the sex education and what it
presents.
Sex education affects and helps children to develop into effective family
members. Sex education provides factual knowledge essentials to the features of
anatomy and physiology of human and animal reproduction which every educated
person wishes to know. An American school of health association committee
(2000) once added that sex education, social economic and physiological phases
of human relations who they are affected by male and female relationship. It
also emphasized attitude development and related to association between the
sexes. Siens (2004) also explains that sex education which teaches the young
persons what he/she should know for his/her personal conduct and relationship
with others. The study area is situated in the senior secondary schools in Ovia
North East Local Government Area of Edo State. Ovia North East Local Government
Area is made of different tribes such as Binis, Ijaws etc. educationally, the
studied area is not lacking behind. Today it has about 28 secondary schools
which include Ezomo College Ora, Ebomisi Secondary School, Utekon Secondary
School, Iguedaken Secondary School etc. and each of these schools is subdivided
into school one and two.
