Entering puberty, students will have changes in their psychology and physiology, they are often curious about the opposite sex. Therefore, there is a risk of early sexual intercourse, unsafe sex, sexual abuse... leading to consequences such as early pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases... and the cause of the above problems is due to lack of understanding about gender, sex, and self-protection skills.

In order to provide students with knowledge about gender, recently, schools in Cai Nuoc district have paid great attention to reproductive health education for adolescents.

Mr. Tran Hong Duong, Principal of Quang Trung Secondary School (Hung My Commune, Cai Nuoc District), said: “At the secondary level, students have begun to experience changes in their psychology and physiology, so sex education for students is always an issue of concern for the school. This activity is implemented by the school with many different contents and forms.”

Specifically, sex education will be integrated by teachers into a number of subjects such as Biology, Civic Education, Literature... and also incorporated into weekly flag-raising ceremonies, class activities...

Representatives of the School Psychology Counseling Team of Quang Trung Secondary School are ready to listen to students' thoughts and feelings to answer their questions.

Ms. Dang Kieu Uyen, a teacher at Quang Trung Secondary School, said: “The school established a school psychology counseling club to answer students’ questions about their thoughts and feelings during adolescence, questions about gender... As a member of the counseling team, I always try to communicate appropriately and have reasonable answers to avoid students finding incorrect explanations on social networking sites.”

Nguyen Tuyet Huynh (Class 8A1, Quang Trung Secondary School) shared: “When I have questions about sex and love, I rarely ask my parents directly, but instead look for answers through books and teachers. In addition, subjects integrated by teachers or extracurricular programs also provide me with some knowledge about reproductive health care during puberty.”

In recent times, Vo Thi Sau Primary and Secondary School (Cai Nuoc town, Cai Nuoc district) has successfully implemented sex education activities for students. In addition to integrating them into related subjects, the school has implemented a number of propaganda activities, sex education, and adolescent reproductive health through extracurricular programs such as: life skills education, journey of love...

The student health monitoring book of Vo Thi Sau Primary and Secondary School also contributes to monitoring and taking care of students' reproductive health.

Ms. Tran My Phuong, a Literature teacher at Vo Thi Sau Primary and Secondary School, said: “Through extracurricular activities, students understand and have their questions about gender and adolescent reproductive health answered. In addition, as a homeroom teacher, I am always ready to meet and listen to their secret thoughts to advise and help them access sex education easily.”

Tran Ngoc Han (Class 9A1, Vo Thi Sau Primary and Secondary School) shared: "When teachers convey information about reproductive health care, gender, and emotions, I gain useful knowledge to build pure friendships during school years, and be aware of each part of my body to protect myself and not let others harm me."

According to Mr. Le Minh Kha, Principal of Vo Thi Sau Primary and Secondary School, sex education is not “showing the way for deer to run” but guiding students on the right and safe path; contributing to raising awareness and changing students’ behavior about reproductive health, so that they can behave appropriately, thereby taking good care of their own health./.
