- Zusatztext
- The ultimate aim of this study is to show the status of HIV and AIDS implementation in secondary schools. HIV and AIDS was declaired a national disaster and teachers were expected to infuse and integrate HIV and AIDS messages in their teaching subjects.It is important to present to the students a curricula that prepares them to the new realities that threaten their very existence. It is hoped that students will be in a position to make informed choices and decisions concerning their sexual lives; thereby scale down the spread of AIDS pandemic. The study shows that schools lack adequate learning-teaching materials on HIV and AIDS; and that teachers and students hold positive attitudes toward the teaching of HIV and AIDS.However, due to inadequate in-servicing on integration and infusion of HIV and AIDS,teachers were not using interactive teaching methods with their students. Teachers also expressed a desire that HIV and AIDS should be taught as a 'stand-alone' subject.
