CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    Background to the Problem

The researcher intends to assess the roles of social studies teacher in the introduction of sex education to Junior Secondary School Students in selected Local Government Area of Lagos state. It is fact that when parents send their children to school, they have something in mind. An average Nigeria parent regards education of his child as a means to and end and not an end itself. This implies that education is viewed in term of the economic benefit to be derived from it. The aim of an average Nigeria parent in sending his child to school is probably nothing other than to enable him to be useful to himself, his family and the community at large. Education is universally acknowledged as a form of investment which can contribute immensely to Nations future economic growth and National development. Education is the Weapon to battle against ignorance, diseases, malnutrition, unemployment, superstitions, political instability and tribalism. It has always been observed that a lot of Junior Secondary School students most especially female students drop out of the school without finishing their secondary school education programme because of unwanted pregnancy and lack of knowledge of sex education. Social studies teacher needs to educate her student by example. He should see himself as the second parent. The Social studies teacher need to let the students know that puberty is brought about by the activity of the sense organs. It is therefore necessary to examine their organs their appendages and their biological and social significance. Sex education is no doubt a very vital issue that is causing controversy all over the world today. Sex education is being looked at from different angles.

These are the agreement on the name itself, the necessary for it teaching in the schools, it form in the school curriculum, the person to teach it and the scope. Human sexuality begins at birth with the sexes of the baby. A number of experiences and factor combined to form the child gender identity.

They are cultural definition of gender, parent’s biological gender, sexual preferences and sexual experiences. A child is usually programmed for role identification through selected clothing and toys, teaching confrontations and parental models.
