Introduction
Since then, the youth of our generation only have basic knowledge about sex
related topics. Only a small percentage of the youth have knowledge and awareness
regarding these topics, most students are not aware of the deeper and complex topics of
With their lack of knowledge and understanding regarding the various topics in
sex education, this could lead them to risky consequences that might lead to more serious
matters.
This study aims to find out the percentage of Grade 11 Senior High School
students of Capiz National High School (CNHS) on their stand regarding the said topic.
Moreover, this study seeks to know how many students agree or disagree to the
grade 11 Senior High School Students about sex education. Specifically, it sought to

femininity. In most cultures this binary division of gender is roughly associated with
biological sex—male or female. There is much variation within the categories of the
masculine and the feminine, both in terms of the possible presentations of gender and the
tasks deemed appropriate to each gender. There is also great variation in the degree of
relation between gender and sex within and among cultures. Some cultures understand
gender as only loosely linked to biology, while others, including the United States,
emotional, and psychological attraction to persons of the same sex. Modern research and

Sex. From attraction to action, sexual behavior takes many forms. At least for
humans, this most basic of activities is anything but basic. As the pioneering sex
researcher Alfred Kinsey put it, the only universal in human sexuality is variability itself.
Sexuality. It is not about who you have sex with, or how often you have it.
Sexuality is about your sexual feelings, thoughts, attractions and behaviours towards
other people. You can find other people physically, sexually or emotionally attractive,
and all those things are a part of your sexuality. Sexuality is diverse and personal, and it
is an important part of who you are. Discovering your sexuality can be a very liberating,
exciting and positive experience. Some people experience discrimination due to their
sexuality. If someone gives you a hard time about your sexuality, it’s good to talk to
A. Sex Education
Sex education is high quality teaching and learning about a broad variety of topics
related to sex and sexuality, exploring values and beliefs about those topics and gaining
the skills that are needed to navigate relationships and manage one’s own sexual health.
Sex education may take place in schools, in community settings, or online. Planned

Society and Culture (including gender roles, diversity, and sexuality in the media)
Sexually active teenagers are a matter of serious concern. In the past decades many
school-based programs have been designed for the sole purpose of delaying the initiation
of sexual activity. There seems to be a growing consensus that schools can play an
important role in providing youth with a knowledge base which may allow them to make
informed decisions and help them shape a healthy lifestyle (St Leger, 1999). The school
is the only institution in regular contact with a sizable proportion of the teenage
population (Zabin and Hirsch, 1988), with virtually all youth attending it before they

A. Sex Education: A Step towards Improving the Sexual Attitudes and Practices of
Sex education is a major source of learning about sexual health related issues
which are not extensively explained in the average science classes. However, it is a
sensitive subject for most Maranaos because of the conservative culture of most Muslim
societies. In the absence of sex education and due to their immaturity, adolescents may
have divergent sexual attitudes and commit irresponsible practices. This quantitative

relationship between the sexual attitudes and practices before and after the
implementation of the sex education program. The findings reveal that the
implementation of the sex education program resulted in the general decline of activities
that could lead to sexual relations, as well as a significant decrease in the participants’
sexual attitudes and practices. This research concludes that there is a significant
difference in the sexual attitudes and practices of the respondents before and after the

This review presents the findings from controlled school-based sex education
interventions published in the last 15 years in the US. The effects of the interventions in
promoting abstinent behavior reported in 12 controlled studies were included in the meta-
analysis. The results of the analysis indicated a very small overall effect of the
program, age of the participants, virgin-status of the sample, grade level, percentage of
females, scope of the implementation and year of publication of the study were associated
with variations in effect sizes for abstinent behavior in univariate tests. However, only

Health
This study examines the impact of sex education on sexual health and sexual
behaviors in young adults. Using data from the Guttmacher Institute’s National Survey of
impacts their uses of contraception, visits to the doctor for sexual health, number of
sexual partners in a year, and age of first intercourse. The current discussions on sex
education in the U.S. are polarized, which makes it important to research the
effectiveness of these programs and understand the topics that are included in the
curricula. Results show that those who have received a sex education course are not any
more likely to have an earlier age of first intercourse nor have a higher number of sexual
partners than those who have not received sex education. There is a statistical
significance between these groups in that those who have received a sex education course
are more likely to make a doctor visit for sexual health related reasons and are more
likely to use contraception as compared to those who have not received a sex education
course (Cook,2017).
