(English version at the bottom)
7月17日,联合国教科文组织驻华代表处和联合国人口基金驻华代表处在北京联合发布了《国际性教育技术指导纲要》(以下简称《纲要》)(修订版)中文版。2018年1月10日,《纲要》英文版由联合国教科文组织和其它联合国机构——联合国艾滋病规划署、联合国人口基金、联合国儿童基金会、联合国妇女署以及世界卫生组织在全球范围共同发布。
《纲要》总结了有效的全面性教育所具备的特征,推荐了适合5-18岁人群的全面性教育课程所需要包含的主题和学习目标,并且概述了有效规划、实施、监测全面性教育的策略和方法。《纲要》本着自愿和非强制性原则,基于现有证据和国际优秀实践经验,认识和考虑到了性教育实行地区的背景多样性。

在当天发布会的开幕式上,联合国艾滋病规划署中国办公室主任桑爱玲女士在开幕发言中说:“联合国机构致力于与国家级伙伴合作,进一步提高对全面性教育的认识,增强开展全面性教育的能力。《纲要》修订版的发布恰逢其时,助我们一臂之力。”
那么,什么是全面性教育呢?全面性教育是一个基于课程,探讨性的认知、情感、身体和社会层面的意义的教学过程。大量证据表明,全面性教育能够使儿童和年轻人获得准确且适龄的知识、态度和技能,建立积极的价值观。但是,很多儿童和年轻人仍然没有机会学习如何为今后做好准备,使他们能够控制好性与人际关系并自主负责地做出明智决定。
在中国,青少年的性与生殖健康知识水平仍然较低。根据2009年北京大学人口研究所进行的全国青年调查,仅4%的青年掌握充分的性与生殖健康知识,14%对艾滋病毒或艾滋病有足够的了解,超过一半的青少年不知道怎样避免非意愿怀孕。
中国的儿童和青少年性教育需要得到全方位的扩大和加强。一份由联合国教科文组织和联合国人口基金联合支持开展的中学性教育实施状况调查显示,中国的学校性教育面临缺乏标准化课程和高质量教学材料,以及优质师资短缺等问题。
“《纲要》更进一步呈现了全面性教育与年轻人健康发展和整体福祉的密切关系,我们希望《纲要》所提供的具体建议能帮助所有像中国这样已拥有性与生殖健康教育政策的国家具体实施全面性教育,” 联合国教科文组织驻华代表处主任欧敏行博士说。
联合国人口基金驻华代表处代理代表苏仁娜女士在发言中提到,编写符合中国国情的中国版全面性教育技术纲要十分重要。
《纲要》能够指导和协助教育、卫生和其它相关权威部门开发和实施校内外的全面性教育课程和教学材料,它是一个基于各国最佳性教育实践的框架,旨在支持课程开发者开发和调整适用于不同环境的课程,并指导性教育计划的有效设计、实施和监测。

“性教育不是读一本书、听一次讲座、看一次视频能够解决的,学校每学期应最低安排6到8课时的性教育课程,相信《纲要》的实施将对指导和促进中国全面性教育工作的开展起到积极的促进和指导作用,”国务院妇女儿童工作委员会办公室副主任宋文珍说。
在修订版《纲要》的中文版发布会之后,来自中国各地的约150名代表参与了会后关于全面性教育的研讨会,研讨会于昨日圆满结束。与会人员包括政府代表、研究人员、正规及非正规教育工作者、青年和家长代表,以及国内社会组织、联合国机构和其他国际组织的工作人员等。 研讨会上,参与者们讨论了实施全面性教育的策略、交流了实践经验,并分享了相关的证据基础。

国家卫生健康委员会妇幼司副司长沈海屏强调:“青少年的性教育和健康服务在中国仍处于起步和探索阶段,期待这次研讨会能够帮助我们与会代表共同分享成功,交流经验,学习借鉴,共同探索性教育和中国青少年健康发展策略,提升青少年健康服务的可及性,推动中国青少年健康事业不断发展。”

Chinese language edition of the revised International Technical Guideline on Sexuality Education has finally been published!
On July 17th, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Beijing Cluster Office and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) China Office jointly launched the Chinese language edition of the revised International Technical Guideline on Sexuality Education (ITGSE) in Beijing. The English edition of the Guidance was launched globally earlier this year on January 10th by UNESCO together with co-publishing UN partners UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women and WHO.
The Guidance identifies characteristics of effective Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) programs, recommends essential topics and learning objectives for learners aged 5 to 18 + years, and recommends approaches for planning, delivering and monitoring CSE programs. The Guidance is voluntary and non-mandatory, based on current evidence and international best practices, and recognizes the diversity of national contexts in which sexuality education is taking place.
At the launch ceremony, Ms. Amakobe Caroline Sande, Director of UNAIDS China Office, said in her opening speech, “the UN family is committed to working with national partners to further increase awareness and build national capacity in CSE. The revised Guidance comes at a great time to lend us strength.”
So, what is CSE? CSE is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about the cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality. A significant body of evidence shows that CSE enables children and young people to develop: accurate and age-appropriate knowledge, attitudes and skills, and positive values. However, few children and young people receive preparation for their lives that empowers them to take control and make informed decisions about their sexuality and relationships freely and responsibly.
In China, young people’s sexual and reproductive health knowledge remains low. According to a National Youth Survey conducted by the Population Research Institute of Peking University, only 4% of youth demonstrated sound sexual and reproductive health knowledge, 14% had adequate knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and more than half did not know how to avoid unintended pregnancy.
The sexuality education for children and adolescents in China requires scaling-up and strengthening at all levels. According to a joint study supported by UNESCO and UNFPA on implementation of sexuality education in middle schools, barriers include the lack of a standard curriculum and quality teaching and learning materials, as well as insufficient numbers of qualified teachers, counsellors and trainers in CSE.
“The Guidance presents a deeper understanding of the relevance of CSE to young people’s healthy development and overall well-being. We hope the detailed recommendations provided in the Guidance can guide all the countries including China where there is already policy support for sexual and reproductive health education in operationalizing CSE”, said Dr. Marielza Oliveira, Director of UNESCO Beijing Cluster Office.
Ms. Navchaa Suren, Representative a.i. of UNFPA China Office, mentioned in her speech that it is important to develop a CSE technical guidance which takes the Chinese situation into consideration.
The Guidance can guide and assist education, health and other relevant authorities in the development and implementation of school-based and out-of-school CSE programmes and materials. It is a framework based on international best practices, which is intended to support curriculum developers to create and adapt curricula appropriate to their context, and to guide programme developers in the design, implementation and monitoring of good quality sexuality education.
“Sexuality education cannot be taught by one book, one lecture, or one video. At least 6 to 8 Sexuality Education Classes per semester are necessary in schools. It is believed that the Guidance would promote and guide the implementation of CSE in China.” Said Ms. Song Wenzhen, Deputy Director of the Office of the National Working Committee on Children and Women of the State Council.
Following the launch of the Chinese language edition of the revised Guidance, a CSE workshop was held with active participation of nearly 150 stakeholders across China, including government representatives, researchers, formal and non-formal educators, youth and parent representative, representatives from national social service organizations as well as UN agencies and other international organizations. In the workshop, the participants discussed strategies to implement CSE, exchanged experiences and discussed evidence around critical issues.
Shen Haiping, Deputy Director of Department of Maternal and Child Health of the National Health Commission, highlighted: “In China, we are exploring how to best provide sexuality education and health service for adolescents. I hope this workshop could help the participants: to share cases, exchange experience, and learn from each other; and to jointly explore the strategy for improving sexuality education and adolescent health, improve the accessibility of adolescents’ health services, and promote the continuous development of adolescent health in China.”
