Description: What is comprehensive sexuality education? Comprehensive sexuality education seeks to assist young people in understanding a positive view of sexuality, provide them with information and skills about taking care of their sexual health, and to help them acquire skills to make decisions now and in the future. A comprehensive sexuality education program includes information as well as an opportunity to explore attitudes and develop skills in such areas as human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behaviour, sexual health, and society and culture . Comprehensive sexuality education enables choice and promotes safe, consensual sexual behavior.
