This review aimed to map and synthesize existing literature on sex and reproductive education policy implementation in primary and secondary schools in Asia and Africa.
Database searches yielded 24 relevant articles, which underwent thematic analysis.
Most studies were conducted in Africa and looked at barriers to implementation. Studies assessing implementation showed it was incomprehensive. Barriers were: policy/curriculum issues, societal opinions, teaching discomfort, lack of educator training, and lack of sufficient economical support.
Based on the limited evidence, a cultural shift to reduce stigma seems necessary, alongside teacher and student involvement in policy formulation and implementation monitoring.
本综述旨在梳理和综合关于亚洲和非洲中小学性与生殖教育政策实施情况的现有文献。
通过数据库检索得到24篇相关文章,并对其进行了主题分析。
大多数研究在非洲开展,关注实施过程中的障碍。评估实施情况的研究表明,实施并不全面。障碍包括:政策/课程问题、社会观念、教学不适感、缺乏教育工作者培训以及缺乏足够的经济支持。
基于有限的证据,似乎有必要进行文化转变以减少污名化,同时让教师和学生参与政策制定和实施监测。
