Ministry of Education and Health (MoH) to implement a curriculum to help students comprehend reproductive health.
The Ministry of Education is collaborating with the Ministry of Health to implement a curriculum that teaches students about reproductive health.
The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education are in the process of developing a curriculum on life skills to help students fully understand reproductive health.
This was revealed during the sixth Annual Scientific Conference on Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (ASRHR) took place in Diani on Thursday, June 22.
Edward Serem, head of the Maternal and Reproductive Health Division at the Ministry of Health (MOH), stated that the government has taken the necessary steps to address issues affecting adolescents, women, and young people.
According to stakeholders, the previous 8-4-44 curriculum in Kenya only covered reproductive health in a superficial manner in science-based subjects.
“We are currently reviewing the comprehensive strategy to deliver age-appropriate, culturally acceptable information, including abstinence, prevention of HIV, STIs, and leverage on life skills education for adults and youths in schools and out of school, including tertiary,” Serem said.
