Abstract
Sexuality education is a globally emerging social issue leading to discourse among stakeholders
in the school system and public health arena. Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) has
emerged as an effective method of preventing teenage pregnancy. However, attempts to
implement CSE policy in Nigeria since 2002 have not been successful. Teenage pregnancy is
increasing in Oyo State, leading to rising school dropout rates. The aim of this study was to
develop strategy to improve implementation of the CSE policy aimed at reducing teenage
pregnancy at secondary schools in three LGAs in Oyo State, Nigeria. An explanatory sequential
mixed methods design was employed to conduct data collection and analysis in Phase One.
Target populations for survey were learners, parents and teachers.
