Abstract
This paper is about teachers’ attitudes towards teaching sexuality education (SE) in Morogoro rural and urban districts. It is based on a study which employed mixed method design and used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It involved a sample of 126 teachers residing from Morogoro rural and urban schools. Data were obtained through interviews and questionnaire. It was revealed that a majority of the teachers supported the teaching of SE in schools with more support of HIV and AIDS contents than pregnancy and contraceptives. There was no significant difference in terms of attitudes between teachers residing in rural and urban schools. This indicates a paradigm shift towards supporting SE. Despite their positive attitudes, the majority of teachers felt incompetent in teaching SE. Therefore, there is a need to support teachers through appropriate training in the provision of SE.
