ABSTRACT
The necessity for a sexuality education course at the senior high level is greater than ever because social institutions, including the family, have experienced radical changes. School courses in sexuality are seen as a necessary supplement to, and enrichment of, family sex education; they provide young people with age appropriate skills in communication, decision-making, and conflict management. Getting a sexuality education course started in a high school requires considerable planning. Before designing the curriculum for a course in sexuality education, basic decisions have to be made about the length of the course and the topics to be included. Parents must be involved at every stage of school sexuality education, from the initial planning through course implementation and evaluation. After the course in human sexuality is planned and the curriculum developed, the most important part begins: the classroom interaction.
