Sexuality Education Issues in Kazakhstan Sample Clauses

Sexuality Education Issues in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan, like many other countries in the world, has not developed a clear strategy for the implementation of sexuality education in school program yet. Certain cultural, social, and political factors influence one another, resulting in policies that are insufficient to address the issue. In the strategies "Kazakhstan -2030", "Strategy on moral and sex education in Kazakhstan,” and "Densaulik," the Kazakhstani government has emphasized the need to prioritize the health and well-being of the population, particularly women and children.

This is how a normal and necessary aspect of human life becomes a prohibited topic for discussion. When children become adults, they absorb the same stereotypes, apply them in their own lives, and pass them on to their children, thereby perpetuating the cycle (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2018). However, some parents realize the importance of providing information on sexuality literacy and seek advisors or specialists to engage in dialogue with their children (Xxxxxxxx, 2018). Since parents represent one of the main education stakeholders, it is vital to know their understanding of the “sexuality education” notion and their views on its delivery. Thus, this paper aims to explore the perceptions and attitudes of school parents in Kazakhstan towards...
