ABSTRACT
Sexuality among young adults is an ever‑increasing sensitive topic that must be handled by not only teachers and parents, but by role models in every community. Deficient ownership or control of this topic can tilt teens and young adults to seek answers from random persons or media that place very little emphasis on their physiological and psychological developments, in many instances leading to fatal and detrimental consequences. Schools and formal educational environments are known to be a major source of information and avenue of instruction for young adults. For about the three decades, many developing countries have witnessed an immense improvement in enrolment rates in schools with about 1.2 billion people of the world population, adolescents aged 10–19 years, making up the global secondary school population.
