What is Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)?
A “curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality” (UNESCO, 2017). Historically and in many regions of the world CSE has covered the foundations, with a focus on HIV and AIDS. CSE in the 21st Century aims to ensure students are equipped with knowledge pertaining to their reproductive health, lifestyle choices, positive relationships and much more.
