Abstract
Introduction: In school, pupils learn about sexuality from friends
and social networking sites such as Facebook. This situation
creates problems such as early and unwanted pregnancies. In this
study, we investigated the behavioural and environmental factors
of adherence to a school-based sex education programme in
Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
Methodology: We carried out a qualitative cross-sectional study
with a descriptive aim in which pupils, teachers, and parents of
pupils participated. The face to face individual interviews, and
Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted September
2020 to September 2021, to identify predisposing, facilitating, and
reinforcing factors for school adherence to a sex education
programme.
Results: First, the acquisition of skills and of cultural norms were
the main predisposing factors. Second, the promotion of sex
education and the financial inaccessibility of parents were the main
facilitating factors. Finally, the reduction of unwanted pregnancies
and criticisms of sex education were the most important reinforcing
factors.
Conclusion: These results can help policymakers achieve good
planning and effective implementation of a sex education
programme in schools.
