Curriculum must provide principals special powers to organize the events overstepping conventions. (Burke, 1970) There could be widespread programs that could be conducted by NGOs
Therefore the education program has to be sound, considered and well tailored to suit all the divergent population of Hong Kong. (Chant; McIlwaine, 1998) Evaluation and Conclusion Hong Kong has to bring about the sex education because of the concern of the spread of diseases
Possible Dangers The dangers associated with the education stems from curiosity and an urge to try out what is learned and if the counselor or teacher is not trained properly instead of helping the student understand the matter in a proper light it will be the opposite and may end up with wayward experiments from the students. (Klein, 1992) Secondly, the method of teaching if not done properly, gives a sense of irresponsibility and an attitude of licentiousness
Sex research as well as education in this arena is being warranted." (Low, 2007) 3
Various "serological premises or a mixture of them co-exist together in Hong Kong." (Ng, n
The observation was "that most of the teachers did not have the confidence in teaching of sex education in the pre-schools" since they did not have the required skills and information. (Yuk-ching, n
A journal article written by Simon Forrest explores the importance of teachers in promoting the importance of sex education in schools. Forrest reported that teachers occupy multiple roles in teaching sex education: teachers can assume the roles of a "protector and friend," and teachers can easily conduct sex education sessions because they are able to make teaching a fun experience, which builds trust not only among the children/students, but also with the students' teacher/s as well (Forrest 2003 10)
For an individual, the significance of sex education is to provide enlightenment on issues about sex that cannot and are often not discussed at home, or in public. More importantly, sex education is vital to humans because it is through sex education that people learn about their sexual anatomy, and illnesses or any difficulties that people may face can be easily remedied or known if there is enough knowledge about sex and other issues related to it (Santrock 2001 542)
As children grow up, they become more oriented with the other aspects of sex education, such as the psychological and emotional motivations and effects of sex in an individual, maintaining sexual relationships with others, or coping with sexual abuse or difficulties. Comprehensive teaching is approved among many sectors in the society because it provides a 'liberal' and more realistic view of the social state of the society at present (Whitehead 2003)
It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education, partly because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV / AIDS. (Forrest, 2003) In contemporary times, it has come to everyone's knowledge through the media that children are not safe, as several of them have been sexually abused
Middle Childhood aged children are extremely inquisitive and need to know things about themselves, their growth, their behavior, and their relationships with others. (Koop, 2003) In the community, it appears that there is an immense emphasis on relationship building, and so there is more than enough scope for implementing a strategy that would ameliorate understanding of sex and sexuality
There are educators who profess that same sex schools provide a less inhibited environment in which to learn as well as providing a milieu for students to pursue opportunities to become leaders and organizers. In fact one notable politician, Senator Hillary Clinton, went as far as to say that public school are entitled to the same single-gender schooling opportunity as those attending exclusive single-gender private schools (Clinton, 2001; Sax, 2002)
The remainder of this literature review will concentrate on whether or not a single sex high school education does, indeed, prepare and strengthen the academic, psychological and sociological skill set needed by students to fulfill and maintain the aforementioned requirements. At the same time colleges and universities have an obligation to entering students by way of being knowledgeable from where the students came, the adjustments new students must make, as well as their learning style and intellectual capabilities (Erickson & Strommer, 1991)
Leaving a comfortable home environment and being thrust into one that is study intensive, time constraining, decision making impacted, and heavily procedure restricted requires a great deal of adjustment on the part of the new entering student. Therefore, any discrepancy between college expectations and high school instruction must be addressed and done so cooperatively (Schmeiser, 2003)
