Teachers were asked to report
(T-lll-e) on the adequacy of teaching/learning resources by topic related to sexuality. A nine point scale was used, with one being "very adequate" and nine being "very inadequate". The following list reports on the averages of the responses. The responses indicate that the materials for sensitive topics in sex education are less available or less adequate that other materials. Topics which were seen to be less adequate included sexual orientation, sexual behaviours such as anal or oral sex, commercial sex, the criminal code, and sex for pleasure and fulfillment. Topics that appear to have more adequate materials include relationships, abstinence, coping with peer pressure, conception and pregnancy and HIV/AIDS.Figure 143a 1= Very Adequate . .. . . 9 = Very Inadequate
