Abstract: 

The aim of this study was to assess secondary school teachers' comfort in teaching adolescents about sexuality and HIV/AIDS, behavioral control and outcome beliefs about HIV/AIDS education and teacher knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The sample consisted of 54 male (35.6%) and 96 female (64.4%) secondary school teachers who were mostly life stkills teachers, from 150 schools across South Africa. Findings suggest that most secondary school teachers, are knowledgeable about AIDS, feel moderately comfortable teaching students about AIDS-related topics, have the knowledge and ability to teach about HIV/AIDS, but lack some material and community support. Teacher in-service training was found to have a significant impact on perceived behavioral control of HIV/AIDS education and HIV/AIDS knowledge.

Education and teaching degrees are more attainable, now that there are colleges offering these programs online. This is a good opportunity for those who are faced with demanding schedules, both from work and at home. Parents who spend most of their time taking care of kids do not have the time to attend classes in a traditional college. Career and business people cannot afford to travel from work to school all the time.

This is a great step South Africa has taken to provide knowledge about HIV/AIDS to the students. Actually, all the countries should come forward and provide students with all the possible educations so that, student gets well educated and should not make mistakes which may lead to some serious loss in/of life.

This kind of health care

This kind of health care campaigns do enormously good to those people. It`s a great thing to manage in helping them be more cautious and take more care of their lives and their health. Imagine that education hasn`t quite made it to their communities and they`ll be etternally thankful for your humanitarian work. I totally respect these initiatives. marire sani
