| Popis: | There is a growing need to effectively address the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents in Nigeria. Research shows a pattern of adolescent sexual behavior indicating early sexual debut and a prevalence of premarital sex. The traditional lack of interest in discussing sexuality at home, schools and churches creates a problem in teacher-student/ parent-child communication and this has affected sexuality and sexuality education adversely overcoming communication barriers to sexuality education is critical to the well-being of millions of adolescent in Nigeria today since communication barriers complicate the delivery of sexuality education both at home, churches and in schools. This paper therefore examines the dearth and ease in effectively communicating the idea of sexuality through the family, church and school which play major roles in socialization and ultimately, the education process. The paper concludes by discussing the social, health and educational implications of sexuality education in Nigeria. |
