This study was aimed at establishing the extent of parental involvement in their children's
sexuality education. The researcher selected four schools of Xhosa Speaking learners in the
Umtata district of the Eastern Cape. Four teachers, one from each school, were interviewed
together with four Xhosa-Speaking learners and their parents. The method of data collection used
was a semi-structured interview aided by tape recording of the session per interviewees' agreement.
The findings were that Xhosa-Speaking parents are not involved in their children's
sexuality education due to being embarrassed by discussing sexual issues with their children.
Learners seem not to like parental involvement in sex education programmes in schools. Teachers
would like to see parents involved in school programmes and communicate with their children on
sexuality matters at home. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Specialisation in guidance and counselling)
