The programmes of study in HIV and Family Education aims to develop in the learners knowledge and skills needed for healthy human relationships, effective communication, and responsible decision-making behaviour that will protect themselves and others from HIV/AIDS/STDs and optimize health. The goals include promoting behaviours that prevent the transmission of HIV/STDs, fostering attitude and behaviour that will prevent discrimination against those who are infected with HIV/STDs, and promote solidarity among them. The programmes aim at providing accurate and complete information on the what, why and how of HIV/AIDS, family life education, substance abuse and related issues.
