About the Cover

This research works investigated the attitude of parents towards the teaching of sex education in secondary schools. Ten secondary schools in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State were used for the study. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Analyses of the research findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the attitude of parents towards teaching their children sex education; and that the education status of parents has significant impact on their attitude towards teaching their children sex education in secondary schools. Recommendation given include that parents should understand that the period of adolescence is marked by increased sex drive and high level of inquisitiveness. Sex education is needed at this stage to help them channel their sexual instinct to creative activities and parents should be made to understand that permissiveness in their parenting styles and peer influences can also expose their children to pre-marital sex. Therefore, they need to be given adequate education on the teaching of their children sex education. Inculcating the right conception in parents can change their beliefs traditionally and culturally (Ref: Sabejeje AJ, Bello IJ. The attitude of parents towards the teaching of sex education in secondary schools. Discovery, 2021, 57(307), 536-544).
