Artigo em Inglês | IMSEAR | ID: sea-112355
ABSTRACT
Two hundred thirteen teachers of one secondary and four primary schools of East Delhi were interviewed to assess their knowledge and attitudes about AIDS and their opinions regarding school based AIDS education. Observations revealed that majority of the teachers were aware of various aspects of HIV/AIDS. However, they also had some misconceptions regarding transmission of the disease. Though, most of the teachers opined that they could play an important role in educating the students as well as the community regarding AIDS/STDs, three fourths of them had never discussed AIDS/STDs with their students. Majority of teachers were in favour of starting class room based education on AIDS/STDs, beginning from secondary classes onwards, and more than half opined that class teacher could educate the students better than the doctors or parents. The results suggest that after being properly trained, teachers can be effectively utilized for educating the students.
