| dc.description.abstract | This survey was part of a two-phase project designed to assist in the introduction of AIDS education into a more comprehensive “Life Skills” programme for schools in the Eastern Caribbean (EC). It aimed to document current life skills initiatives in terms of who was doing what, the reasons for the intervention, and the funding issues involved. The survey collected information through interviews and a questionnaire administered to respondents from 8 regional and 10 national institutions/ agencies in six EC countries, as well as from an analysis of curricula/guidelines, pupil materials, and other documents relating to relevant programmes that were being used by the agencies/institutions interviewed. The survey revealed that all countries in the EC had AIDS education programmes, which are conducted by the National AIDS Committees. There were no distinct school-based AIDS education programmes. Education about HIV/AIDS was incorporated in Health and Family Life and Guidance programmes. In countries where these programmes were not a part of the school curriculum, education was provided by visiting resources persons. It was generally felt that education about AIDS, drugs, the environment, development, and other critical concerns should be completely integrated into all curriculum areas. | |
