This study assessed the effect of training programme on teachers' knowledge of and attitude towards reproductive health education /sexuality education [RHE/SE] in five randomly selected rural schools in Ife-North local government area [IFLGA], Southwest, Nigeria. All the 84 teachers in the selected schools in the LGA were recruited for the study. They [84 teachers] were all given training in RHE/SE for one month. Their knowledge and attitude towards RHE/SE were assessed pre-and post-training programme. The results show a significant increase in percentage of those who had good knowledge in general areas of RHE/SE at post-training assessment compared with pre-training assessment[from 14.3% to 53.6%, p=0.0001].Also, pre-post attitudinal disposition assessments show that there was an increase in percentage of those who were favourably disposed to the teaching of RHE/SE in Nigeria Schools at post-training assessment [from 17.9% to 45.2%, p=0.0011]. The study suggests that RHE/SE should be included and made compulsory in all training programme for all teachers in Nigeria.
本研究评估了培训项目对尼日利亚西南部伊费北区地方政府辖区（IFLGA）随机选取的五所农村学校教师的生殖健康教育/性教育（RHE/SE）知识及态度的影响。该地方政府辖区选定学校的所有84名教师均被纳入本研究。他们（84名教师）都接受了为期一个月的生殖健康教育/性教育培训。在培训项目前后对他们的生殖健康教育/性教育知识及态度进行了评估。结果显示，与培训前评估相比，培训后评估中在生殖健康教育/性教育总体领域具备良好知识的人员百分比显著增加（从14.3%增至53.6%，p = 0.0001）。此外，培训前后的态度倾向评估表明，培训后评估中对在尼日利亚学校开展生殖健康教育/性教育持积极态度的人员百分比有所增加（从17.9%增至45.2%，p = 0.0011）。该研究表明，生殖健康教育/性教育应纳入尼日利亚所有教师的培训项目并成为必修课。
