CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background
Sex education, which called sexuality education or sex and relationships education and the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. Sex education as well about developing young people's skills so that they make informed choices about their behavior, and feel confident and competent about acting on these choices. It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education. This is because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV and AIDS. It is also argued that providing sex education helps to meet young people’s rights to information about matters that affect them, their right to have their needs met and to help them enjoy their sexuality and the relationships that they form. (You used the word of ‘argued’ at the beginning of this sentence, but what are the conflicting issues in this sentence?)

Need for study
The primary goal of sex education is to prepare children and young people with the knowledge, skills and value to make responsible choices about their sexual and social relationships in a world with sexually transmitted disease like HIV. Moreover, to learn about the risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, children and young people also need to learn about the risk of sexual exploitation and abuse in order to recognize these when they occur and to protect themselves as far as possible to identity and access available sources of support (Unesco, 2009). Sex education can provide an appropriate framework and context for educating students about sexual abuse and HIV. For example, distinguishing “good” and “bad” touch, learning how to express feelings, to resist pressure and to seek help are all key aspects of sexuality education that are also highly pertinent to sexual abuse.
Nowadays, the idea (sex education) that schools and the state have a responsibility to teach young people about sex is a peculiarly modern one. Such as, the United States and Western Europe, there had rise of sex education to a regular place in the school. Far too few children and young people receive anything approaching adequate preparation for a safe and satisfying adult sexual life.

Purpose and the Aim of Study
The purpose of this research is to investigate the important of sex education to prevent HIV or AIDs in young children. Sex education is developed young people’s skill to inform their behavior, feeling confident and competent about acting on their choice. The result of this sex education help young children will be used to awareness in the life. According to Unesco (2007), schools can provide a suitable, replicable and sustainable vehicle for the delivery of such education. Giving their number proximity to students, teacher can best place to deliver this education. Suitably train and supervise peer educators can also provide a lot of useful support, as can health and other professionals who come into professional contact children. With increasing number of children attending primary school, it is sensible to introduce sexuality education at this level rather than waiting until secondary school.
Giving educate young people with basic information from a since early age provides the foundation on which more complex knowledge is built up over time. For example, when they are very young, children can be informed about how people grow and change over time, and how babies become children and then adults, and this provides the basis on which they understand more detailed information about puberty provided in the pre-teenage years. They can also when they are young, be provided with information about viruses and germs that attack the body. This provides the basis for talking to them later about infections that can be caught through sexual contact.

Research question
Sex education that works should starts earlier, before young people reach puberty, and before they have developed established patterns of behavior. The precise age at which information should be provided depends on the physical, emotional and intellectual development of the young people as well as their level of understanding. What the role of teachers and parents to impart sex education for their young children?
Hypothesis: Young people who received accurate sexuality education are more mature thinking and responsible in their attitude by teaching from teachers and parents.
Research hypothesis: Teaching accurate sexuality education in primary’s students will make them more responsible and mature thinking in their attitude.
Null hypothesis: Teaching accurate sexuality education in primary’s students will not make them responsible and mature thinking in their attitude.
