Abstract
The study investigated perceptions and attitudes of students toward sex education at Forward in
Faith High school. The researcher sought to find out how students perceive and react toward sex
education. The researcher used quantitative research methods with data collected using
questionnaires. The study targeted pupils from the age of 16 years to 18 years and across three
classes from form 4 to from 6. Seventy three participants were selected using non probability
random sampling method. Statistical package of social sciences (version 21) was used for data
