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. 79 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
