curriculum by the teachers, inserting sex education material in the learning theme, and

students, the ineffectiveness of selecting sex education learning strategy, the inappropriate ways
to explain taboo things to the students, the lack of understanding of the teachers related to sex
education learning strategy, and the level of understanding and observation power of the
students who are still low.
