  • Determinants of school-based sexuality education implementation in South Africa and Sweden

    Open AccessIkekhwa Albert Ikhile, Mats Lundström et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2026

    Introduction The sexual abuse of learners by educators remains a significant issue in the South African educational system, compromising the learners' well-being and the veracity of institutions.

This study employed a qualitative research design, integrating a systematic literature search guided by the PRISMA framework with a thematic analysis…

    Introduction South Africa’s Department of Basic Education introduced a policy in December 2021 to protect rural school learners from sexual exploitation. Schools must report statutory rape cases involving pregnant learners under 16 years of age with partners over 16. However, rural implementation faces significant barriers, highlighting the gap between policy intent and reality. Methods A cyclical longitudinal ethnographic design was used to inve…

    Despite the implementation of a school-based sexuality education programme meant to promote learners' sexual and reproductive health (SRH), the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and teenage pregnancy is increasing rapidly in South Africa. This phenomenon can be observed in rural schools such as those in King Cetshwayo district in the Kwazulu Natal Province. We argue that it is critical to investigate the contextual factors that i…
