Department of Counsellor Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria , [odebode.aa@unilorin.edu.ng](odebode.aa@unilorin.edu.ng)  \nThis study investigated the parental attitude towards sexuality education for secondary school students in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study also sought whether variables such as gender, religion and educational qualification would affect the respondents’ views. Descriptive survey method was adopted for this study. Using a three-stage sampling technique, four hundred respondents in Kwara State were selected to participate in the study. The data was gathered with the use of a researcher-designed instrument titled “Attitude of Parents towards Sexuality Education Questionnaire (APSEQ) . The t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical tools were employed to analyze the formulated null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that the attitude of parents towards sexuality education for in-school adolescents in Kwara State is negative. Also, there were significant differences in the attitude of parents towards sexuality education for in-school adolescents in Kwara State based on gender and educational qualification, but no significant difference was found on religion. Based on the findings ofthis study, recommendations were made among others that counsellors should educate parents on the need and importance of sexuality education so as to develop positive attitude towards it. Parents should be made to realize that sexuality education will reduce unwanted pregnancies, prevent sexually transmitted diseases among many other advantages. It should be made known to parents that sexuality education is meant to curb risky sexual behaviours and not escalate it.  \nKeywords: parents, attitude, sexuality education, secondary school students, Kwara state  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSex education plays a significant role in the development of adolescents’ attitude towards healthy sexual relationship and avoidance of negative sexual consequences. Despite this, the role of parent asan agent to promote child’s development cannot be underrated in the society. This assertion agrees with the claim of Haffner (2001) that for sexuality education to be effectively taught in schools, parents support must be sought as the education of the child includes cooperation of parents. However, sexuality education involves more than sexual development and reproductive health, it includes interpersonal relationships, intimacy, body languages, values and gender influence (Sieswerda & Blekken, 2003) . Moreover, home is the first contact a child has which provides opportunities for discussions on sexuality, making parents the primary sex educators oftheir children (SIECUS, 2001) .  \nAdolescents are known for their pronounced sexual zeal and they need accurate information about healthy sexual activities (Olubayo, 2012) . More importantly, adolescence stage is a wonderful period in one’s life and time filled with new and exciting things and inventions. Mensch, Bruce and Green (2008) stated that what happens between ages 10-19, whether good or bad shapes how girls and boys live out their lives as women and men. Mensch et al believed that it is the task of all responsible  \nparents to make sure that the transition from childhood to adulthood happens under favorable conditions and environments. Similarly, according to Lloyd (2005) in a study titled ‘growing up global the changing transitions to adulthood in developing Countries’ found that an estimated 4.3% of young women and 1.5% of young men 15-24 in sub-Saharan, were living with HIV while 9-13% young women had given birth by age 16. This implies that young people need access to productive information and skills before they become sexually active to reduce their risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted infection (ST","cbCairpXlJBFiMYf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairpXlJBFiMYf","pdf",469144,"English","# Introduction\n## Role of sexuality education for adolescents\n## Parents as primary sexuality educators\n## Adolescence, risk factors, and access to information\n## Cultural, religious, and geographical taboos in Nigeria","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study on sexuality education in Kwara State?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates parents’ attitudes toward sexuality education for secondary school students in Kwara State, Nigeria.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors were examined to see if they affect parents’ attitudes?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines whether gender, religion, and educational qualification influence respondents’ views on sexuality education.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about parents’ overall attitudes and group differences?\",\"answer\":\"Parents’ attitudes toward sexuality education for in-school adolescents in Kwara State are negative.
