AB Two hundred thirteen teachers of one secondary and four primary schools
of East Delhi were interviewed to assess their knowledge and attitudes
about AIDS and their opinions regarding school based AIDS education.
Observations revealed that majority of the teachers were aware of
various aspects of HIV/AIDS. However, they also had some misconceptions
regarding transmission of the disease. Though, most of the teachers
opined that they could play an important role in educating the students
as well as the community regarding AIDS/STDs, three fourths of them had
never discussed AIDS/STDs with their students. Majority of teachers were
in favour of starting class room based education on AIDS/STDs, beginning
from secondary classes onwards, and more than half opined that class
teacher could educate the students better than the doctors or parents.
The results suggest that after being properly trained, teachers can be
effectively utilized for educating the students.
