The main objective of this study was to evaluate the progress and the impact of
the implementation of the Health and Family Life Education (HFLE) curricula in
primary and secondary schools in Jamaica, paying special attention to the
following: (i) the impact of life skill teaching on the knowledge, attitudes,
behaviours and practices of adolescents exposed to the revised curriculum; (ii)
the quality and effectiveness of teacher training and performance in the
delivery of the life skills methodology in teaching the program; (iii) the
extent to which HFLE has been incorporated into the school's academic
structure, especially as it relates to time-tabling and the assignment of
classroom teachers to the subject; and (iv) acceptability of HFLE among
students, teachers and parents.
