It is still widely anticipated that the AIDS epidemic will have a devastating impact on the education sector in Africa.
The launch of this Education Sector HIV and AIDS Policy is a manifestation of the Ministry of Education's commitment to fighting HIV and AIDS in the education sector as its contribution toward the national multi-sectoral response as well as the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).
