Sexual Health Education in Schools in Benin in 2021

The book entitled Education à la Santé Sexuelle en milieu scolaire au Bénin en 2021 (Sexual Health Education in Schools in Benin in 2021) presents one of the chapters of our doctoral dissertation on the issue of school pregnancy in Benin. The book is the result of research on a nationally implemented project in Benin to eliminate school pregnancy and improve the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents and youth. This book describes the realities of school-based sexual health education in Benin's general and technical secondary schools and vocational training centers. No one doubts the extent to which early pregnancies are currently taking place, which do more harm than good to adolescents, especially if they are still students and should continue their studies. This phenomenon is indeed one of the reasons for the dropout of girls and the miserable living conditions of some girls who, at first very intelligent, should have a bright future.The present study in the book was conducted as part of an exploration of the problem of pregnancy in schools in Benin.
