Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents the situation of SE in secondary schools in Kenya. It is a product of documentary research whose main focus is on what is offered as aspects of SE in the Christian Religious Education (C.R.E) curriculum. It addresses the meaning of SE, what is entailed in SE and the traditional African way of imparting SE to show the existing gap between the past and present on the situation of youth. The Government policies and attempts to implement SE in secondary schools are highlighted together with the controversies and challenges in the implementation of SE in schools in Kenya. The most notable controversy stems from religious groups that are mainly nervous about the teaching of SE among youth in schools. There is also resistance from parents, many of who feel school is not the place to learn about sex. The paper concludes that in spite of all controversies and challenges, the Government of Kenya has made attempts to implement aspects of SE in secondary schools. However these aspects that are integrated in the C.R.E curriculum are not explicit, and hence there is need for more boldness in the teaching of SE.
