THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION PROGRAM IN PASIG CATHOLIC COLLEGE SY 2020-2021

= Abstract = This study aims to improve the existing Sexuality Education in Pasig Catholic College. It is incorporated in Catechesis 11B taken by the Grade 11 Senior High School students. The course, however, does not focus on the information the students need regarding sexuality and health, as the focal point of the course is religion. Thus, a separate Comprehensive Sexuality Education Program (CSEP) is proposed to be implemented through this study. 250 Grade 12 students of Pasig Catholic College S.Y. 2018 – 2019 participated as respondents in evaluating the competency for a CSE Program of students that received the Abstinence-Only Sex Education incorporated in Catechesis 11B. The assessment is aligned to the life skills provided by the Philippine Department of Education Order Number 31 Series of 2018 namely Analysis of External Influences, Accessing Authoritative Information, Effective Communication, Responsible Decision-Making, Self -Management, Goal Setting, and Advocacy for Others. The results demonstrate the highest response rate in the Analysis of External Influences, showing agreeableness; while the lowest response rate is in Responsible Decision-Making, showing uncertainty. Hence, a Comprehensive Sexuality Education Program is necessary, and students are prepared to take the program. A module based off the findings of the study is formulated for the proposal of an effective Catholic Level-Appropriate Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
