ABSTRACT
PIP: Education of young people about family planning has had low priority until recently. Family Planning Specialists should give attention to school curricula. Activities that are an integral part of a well developed family planning program are training, motivation, information, and adult education. Propositions involved in some of the problems and issues in population education are that 1) the content and instructional methods should be pedagogically sound; 2) the responsibility for the introduction of population education into the formal education system should be integrated into the curriculum rather than added as a new subject; 4) the content of population education must be worked out in each country; 5) the content of population education should be developed with full appreciation of related education and programs addressed to adults; 6) realistic goals and a long-range strategy for population education should be formulated; 7) family planning leaders have important functions to play as stimulators, resource personnel, critics, and supporters; 8) high priority should be given to universities and professional schools as centers for general education of leaders, the professional personnel and the development of basic knowledge on which policies and programs may be built.^ieng
