Right to Sexual and Reproductive Health Education 2016
Most of the participants, including majority of the parents, suggested
that including SRH information in the Islam module will be in the
interest of everyone.
Recommendation 5:
The Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Ministry of Islamic
Affairs
5.1 Incorporate SRH related topics in the Islam module.
5.1 Conduct training programmes for the Islam subject teachers on
the importance of SRH and the delivery of information to
students.
Conclusion 6:
All participants stressed on the importance of having a student
counselor in all schools and acknowledged that this was an essential
service. The availability of professional counselors that the students
can turn to when they require delicate information will be beneficial
for the entire community.
Recommendation 6:
Ministry of Education
6. Budget for the training of student counselors, in all schools.
Conclusion 7:
Participants from the NGO FGDs stated that they could play an
important role in providing SRHE to the general public. Their main
concern was that they do not receive the adequate funds, support and
materials that they would need to carry out such programmes. They
highlighted that if the Government established a policy on recruiting
and funding NGOs to conduct such programmes, it would be more cost
effective as NGOs would have more man power and time to really
commit to such issues.
