Enugu State/GHARF Understudy Implementation of Sexuality Education in Lagos State

 

Between February 1-3, 2005, officials of the Enugu State Ministry of Education and the Global Health and Research Foundation (GHARF) paid a two-day visit to Lagos State to study the approach adopted by the Lagos State Ministry of Education in implementing the Family Life and HIV Education (formerly Sexuality Education) Curriculum in its public secondary schools.

The visit, which was facilitated by AHI, provided an opportunity for the Enugu State team to interact with key persons involved in the management of the curriculum implementation process, as well as appraise the successes and challenges being faced.

They met with Commissioner for Education, Professor Olakunle Lawal, the permanent secretary, and other the directors in the ministry.

The visitors also had interactive discussions with the teachers using the curriculum in their classes, students, principals, and parents, all with a view to gain insight that will aid the successful replication of the programme in Enugu State.
