Sex education according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013) is the provision of information about bodily development, sex, sexuality, and relationships, alongside with skills-building to help young people communicate about and make informed decisions regarding sex and their sexual health. According to Schmidt, Abraham, and Kimberly (2015), sex education is the orientation given formally or informally for the purpose of making those receiving it develop the right attitude towards all sex related matters in human relations.
