It also sought to explore the problems, concerns, and values of young people; possible goals, outcomes and teaching and assessment methods of HFLE; and factors affecting the teaching of HFLE. The intended respondents were students in primary and secondary schools, and their teachers, principals and parents. This report summarizes and discusses the responses of teachers. The proportion of teachers teaching HFLE was significantly greater that the proportion trained for it. The teacher felt generally inadequate in the areas of the information techniques and material and resources across all the skill areas. There was relatively close adherence to teacher-centred instruction strategies.en-UShealth and family life educationHFLEneeds assessmentOther
