Population/family life education in science for primaries five and six pupils

The Nigerian Population/Family Life Education Programme focuses on equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to effectively deal with problems such as decline in sexual morality, and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. The aim of the programme is to improve the quality of life of Nigerians. Based on the successes of the programme at secondary level, a decision was made to expand the programme to the primary level, focusing on the last two years of primary school.
