Topic > Sexual Health Education in China - 915

Does the lack of sexual health education in the Chinese education system lead to serious consequences within Chinese society? This summary of my thesis aims to present a greater understanding regarding the comprehensive literature on sexual health education in China. My thesis will aim to contribute a focused topic to the dialogue on sexual health education by providing a case study of the sexual health education system in China, in order to analyze the current problems of the system and possible serious outcomes regarding the Chinese population due to these problems. As I discuss the current state of sexual health education, I will focus on the different ways sexual health education is carried out in school systems across China compared to other countries, what effects these effects have on society, and on how this could be changed. This is just a short compilation of the number of sources I will eventually have, as I plan to find much more information as I continue my research. Professor Zhou-Yu Feng touches on problems within Chinese society in her thesis “Comparative Research on Sex Education for Chinese and US Adolescents,” stating that “sex education is known to be a blind spot in education basis of China. Many social problems are caused by the lack of sexual education, which has gradually awakened people's attention” (Yu-Feng). education is also of great importance because, as many Chinese citizens increasingly engage in premarital sexual intercourse without concise and clear sexual health education, this poses the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, unplanned pregnancies,...... half of paper...... of Comprehensive Sex Education in China: Findings from Suburban Shanghai,” International Family Planning Perspectives (2005): 63-72.Wen, S.H., J.D.
