All education respondents were asked questions about the diffusion process used to implement and support sexuality education. Education ministries were asked if they had set up a network of health education/AIDS education contacts in school districts. School districts and school principals were asked if they maintained contact with networks in the community about health education or AIDS education.

The education ministries have taken this kind of action in the past but are not doing so now. The school districts and school principals report continuing activity of this nature. The responses are presented below.

The responses indicate that many teachers do consider their colleagues actions. (T-IV-9). On a nine point scale, with one being "very often" and nine being "never", the average responses were:
