TI The impact of HIV/AIDS on the education system.

AB OBJECTIVE: To identify ways in which HIV/AIDS is having, and will
continue to have, an impact: (1) on the demand, supply, and quality of
education; and (2) on education systems' objectives and functions, on
what they teach, and on the nature of their planning, financing, and
management processes. METHODS: An extensive review of literature and
experience and consultations with donor agencies and educational
planners. RESULTS: There is increasing evidence that in many countries
of the world HIV and AIDS are beginning to have an impact on education
as a system and as a sector of development. In some countries, the
impact is serious, with evident declines in educational demand, supply,
and quality. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Planners will need to collect
the data required to help them predict changes in both educational and
labor force demand and supply related to HIV/AIDS and to make timely
responses to often quite unanticipated changes in education. They will
also need to develop policies regarding issues related to sex education,
job discrimination and social stigma, and human rights violations. How
education systems respond to this kind of situation will be an important
determinant in how seriously affected societies recover from the impact
of HIV and AIDS on their economic, social, and political development.
