Right to Sexual and Reproductive Health Education 2016
11. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion 1:
The Maldivian youth comprises of over one third of the population of
the country and most of these youngsters do not have access to
appropriate information about SRH. Majority of the adolescents who
participated in this research remained unaware of the most basic
information regarding SRH and this could also be said to be applicable
to the rest of the adolescent population.
Among the student population, Commerce and Arts stream students
were at a disadvantage in accessing information related to SRH.
Therefore, special attention need to be given to include all students in
SRHE programmes, regardless of the educational stream chosen.
Recommendation 1:
Ministry of Education
1. Incorporate SRHE as a separate module within the Life Skills
programme.
Conclusion 2:
Lack of materials and information on SRH within the school syllabus
has drawn adolescents to seek information from other sources, which
may turn out to be inaccurate and inappropriate.
Recommendation 2:
Ministry of Education
2. Develop and publish learning materials with SRH components
for primary and secondary grades, that are age appropriate.
