In 2009, UNESCO, UNAIDS, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Children's Fund and the World Health Organization jointly issued the Guide to International Educational Technology, which pointed out that "sex education refers to imparting knowledge about sex and interpersonal relationships by providing scientifically accurate, true and non-judgmental information in a culturally relevant way.
Sex education provides an opportunity for a person to explore his own values and attitudes, which helps to cultivate his ability to make decisions, communicate and reduce risks on many sex-related issues.
The characteristics of comprehensive education:
Comprehensive education focuses on sexual and reproductive health, including anatomical and physiological knowledge related to sex and reproduction; Puberty development; Menstruation and nocturnal emission; Pregnancy, childbirth and contraception; HIV, sexually transmitted infections and other topics that learners need to know.
Comprehensive education focuses on enhancing learners' ability, cultivating their life skills, and improving their ability to analyze and think about sexuality, human rights, healthy interpersonal relationships, cultural and social norms, gender equality, non-discrimination, anti-violence, sexual behavior, physical integrity, marriage, sexual abuse, equality and respect.
In addition to the comprehensiveness of teaching content and objectives, the comprehensiveness of comprehensive education is also reflected in the depth and breadth of teaching content and the continuity and consistency of the educational process, rather than temporary and one-time teaching or intervention to solve a specific and urgent problem.
