Sex education provides instruction on issues relating to human sexuality, including relationships, sexual health, and reproduction. It aims to give people the skills and information to make healthy decisions about sex. While some parents support comprehensive sex education in schools, others prefer education to take place at home with an abstinence-only focus. Experts generally agree that effective sex education programs provide medically accurate information, build life skills, and incorporate discussions of gender and human rights.

In Africa, the concept of Guidance and Counseling although relatively new in educational systems, has been embraced by most governments. Although most African countries recognize the essential role of organized Guidance and Counseling Programmes, there are limited researches studies conducted to assess the effectiveness of the programmed services being implemented to improve the student’s decision making processes that lead to improved future benefits. Research is yet to identify gender specific strategies to positive psychosexual development in boys and girls that can promote safe reproductive health. A wide spread ignorance on the subject of sex is due to the fact that the subject has been surrounded with mystery and beclouded by dark silence. The result has increased curiosity and desire to acquire more knowledge on this forbidden subject; yet, the people entrusted with the responsibility of educating the adolescents on the subject have not made appropriate information readily available. The study investigated effectiveness of guidance and counselling programmes on academic achievement among public secondary school students in Bungoma South Sub-County, Kenya. The study adopted Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory postulated in 1986. A descriptive research design was used with target population of 52 guiding and counselling teachers. A sample of 16 participants was selected using, using 30% of Mugenda and Mugenda (2003) and randomly selected from 52 schools. Data was collected using structured interview schedule and questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. Results highlights teacher counselling and peer counselling were the most effective strategies in guidance and counselling as compared to students suspension and corporal punishment. More than half of guidance and counselling teachers asserted that schools had inadequate policy and manual procedures and code of ethics and regulation governing sexual behaviour. This paper points at need of guidance and counselling departments to develop policies and manual procedures on sex and relationship education that acts as a reference point to all members of the school. In addition, the Government should set up reproductive health institutions for the youth, promote peer counseling, talks by health providers in schools which has a bearing on students’ performance.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Sex Education
Sex education is an instruction on issues relating to
human sexuality like emotional relations and responsibilities,
human sexual anatomy, sexual activity, sexual reproduction,
age of consent, reproductive health, reproductive rights, safe
sex, birth control and sexual abstinence.
Sex education helps people gain the information, skills
and motivation to make healthy decisions about sex and
sexuality. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest provider
of sex education, reaching 1.5 million people a year.

Sex Education
Sex education is about a
variety of topics related to sex
and sexuality and its values and
beliefs and gaining the skills to
manage one’s own sexual health.
Sex education may take place in
schools, in community settings,
or online.
Traditionally, adolescents
in many cultures were not
given any information on
sexual matters, with the
discussion of these issues
being considered taboo.

5. The progressive education movement of the late 19th century
led to the introduction of "social hygiene" in North American school
curricula and the advent of school-based sex education. Most of the
information on sexual matters in the mid-20th century was obtained
informally from friends and the media, and much of this information was
deficient or of dubious value, especially during the period following puberty.
This deficiency was heightened by the increasing incidence of teenage
pregnancies. As part of each country's efforts to reduce such pregnancies,
programs of sex education were introduced, initially over strong opposition
from parent and religious groups.
6. Burt defined sex education as the
study of the characteristics of
beings—a male and female, and it
makes up the person's sexuality.
Sexuality is an important aspect of
the life of a human being and almost all people, including
children, want to know about it. Sex education includes all the
educational measures which - regardless of the particular
method used - may center on sex. He further said that sex
education stands for protection, presentation extension,
improvement and development of the family based on accepted
ethical ideas.

OTHER DEFINITONS
Leepson
Leepson sees sex education as
instruction in various physiological,
psychological and sociological aspects
of sexual response and reproduction.
Kearney (2008) also defined sex
education as "involving a comprehensive
course of action by the school, calculated to
bring about the socially desirable attitudes,
practices and personal conduct on the part of
children and adults, that will best protect the
individual as a human and the family as a
social institution."

EvidenceEvidence shows that a combination of
comprehensive sex education and access to birth control
appears to decrease the rates of unintended pregnancies
among teenagers. Numerous studies show that curricula
providing accurate information about condoms and
contraception can lead to reductions in the risky
behaviors reported by young people as well as
reductions in unintended pregnancies and STIs.
Programs that teach only abstinence have not been
shown to be effective.
9. 9Your Coffee Shop
Evidence
According to UNFPA, "A 2010 review found
that 'gender-focused' curricula – meaning
curricula that integrate gender equality into the
learning material – were substantially more
effective in reducing risky behaviors than
programmes that did not consider gender."
10. 10Your Coffee Shop
Evidence
Research has also shown that delay in sexual
initiation, use of condoms and practice
contraception has been a result of young people
adopting egalitarian attitudes about gender roles.
These individuals were also found to be less likely
engaged in violent relationships and have a lower
rate of STIs including HIV and unintended
pregnancy.
11. 11Your Coffee Shop
Evidence
By emphasizing rights and gender issues,
these programs help reduce gender-
based violence and bullying, promote safe
schools, empower young people to
advocate for their own rights, and
advance gender equality
12. 12Your Coffee Shop
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) recommends comprehensive sexuality
education, as it enables young people to make informed decisions about their sexuality.
According to UNFPA, "It is taught over several years, introducing
age-appropriate information consistent with the evolving capacities
of young people. It includes scientifically accurate, curriculum-based
information about human development, anatomy and pregnancy. It
also includes information about contraception and sexually
transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. And it goes beyond
information, to encourage confidence and improved communication
skills. Curricula should also address the social issues surrounding
sexuality and reproduction, including cultural norms, family life and
interpersonal relationships."
13. 13Your Coffee Shop
Human rights issues, gender equality and gender roles
should be integrated into every aspect of these discussions.
This includes human rights protection, fulfillment and
empowerment; the impact of gender discrimination; the
importance of equality and gender-sensitivity; and the ideas
underlying gender roles. Sexual abuse, gender-based
violence and harmful practices should also be discussed.
Taken together, all this information teaches young people the
life skills necessary to assume responsibility for their own
behavior and to respect the rights of others."
14. 14Your Coffee Shop
Comprehensive sexuality education "enables
young people to make informed decisions about their
sexuality and health. These programmes build life
skills and increase responsible behaviors, and
because they are based on human rights principles,
they help advance human rights, gender equality and
the empowerment of young people."

Morality
There are two opposing sides of the sex education argument
amongst parents. Sexual liberals see knowledge on sex as equipping
individuals to make informed decisions about their personal sexuality,
and they are in favor of comprehensive sexual education all
throughout schooling, not just in high school. Sexual conservatives
see knowledge on sex as encouraging adolescents to have sex, and
they believe that sex should be taught inside the family in order for
their morals to be included in the conversation. Sexual conservatives
see the importance of teaching sex education, but only through
abstinence-only programs.

Characteristics of Effective Sex Education
Experts have identified critical characteristics of highly effective sex
education and HIV/STI prevention education programs. Such programs:
1. Offer age- and culturally appropriate sexual health information in a
safe environment for participants;
2. Are developed in cooperation with members of the target
community, especially young people;
3. Assist youth to clarify their individual, family, and community
values;
4. Assist youth to develop skills in communication, refusal, and
negotiation;
19. 19Your Coffee Shop
5. Provide medically accurate information about both abstinence and also
contraception, including condoms;
6. Have clear goals for preventing HIV, other STIs, and/or teen pregnancy;
7. Focus on specific health behaviors related to the goals, with clear
messages about these behaviors;
8. Address psychosocial risk and protective factors with activities to
change each targeted risk and to promote each protective factor;
9. Respect community values and respond to community needs;
10. Rely on participatory teaching methods, implemented by trained
educators and using all the activities as designed.

Sex Education is probably one of the
sensitive topics as far as the Philippines is
concerned. It has been a subject of debate
whether to incorporate this in the school
curriculum. The reason behind it is to address
the problems of pre-marital sex and teenage
pregnancies among teenagers, and to check
the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases
(STDs).
21. 21Your Coffee Shop
Most recently, the Department of Health
announced a plan to distribute condoms to high school
students. They said this is in conjunction with
introducing sex education to these students in order to
address the aforementioned problems.
This move was met with strong if not harsh
criticism from the conservatives of society. While the
aforementioned measure will address the said
problems, the issue here is whether the youth are
mature enough to understand the nature of sex.
22. 22Your Coffee Shop
The concern of these groups is that these youths might
be further encouraged to engage in (pre-marital) sex since
these condoms are an assurance they can do it safely without
the risk of transmitting STDs or getting their partner
pregnant.
According to the data collated by the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), among 10 Filipinas aged between 15 and 19
years old, one has gotten pregnant; 8% have become
mothers and 2% are pregnant with their first child.

The outbreak of AIDS has given a
new sense of urgency to sex education.
Some international organizations such as Planned
Parenthood consider that broad sex education programs
have global benefits, such as controlling the risk of
overpopulation and the advancement of women's rights.
The use of mass media campaigns has sometimes
resulted in high levels of "awareness" coupled with
essentially superficial knowledge of HIV transmission.

According to Columbia University
researchers, virginity pledge programs
increase pledge-takers’ risk for STIs and pregnancy. The
study concluded that 88 percent of pledge-takers initiated
sex prior to marriage even though some delayed sex for a
while. Rates of STIs among pledge-takers and non-pledgers
were similar, even though pledge-takers initiated sex later.
Pledge-takers were less likely to seek STI testing and less
likely to use contraception when they did have sex.
