INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is supposedly a part of the curriculum that will address the age-appropriate physical, mental, emotional and social dimensions of human sexuality. This study aims to determine how students perceive human sexuality and the future inclusion of CSE in the curriculum.
METHODS
Descriptive case study approach was used for this study. The respondents are six students from each grade level of the Basic Education Department of Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Bataan.
RESULTS
The results showed that the students are receiving a very limited amount of information about human sexuality. Furthermore, it showed that the primary source of the respondents' knowledge regarding human sexuality is either school and/or teachers, home, or they depend on their own discovery.
DISCUSSIONS
Based on the findings, it is recommended that parents be more open-minded in discussing the topic of sexuality with their children. On the same note, the Department of Education should provide more seminars and/or develop programs for the teachers who will handle this subject to arm them with the right information and train them the proper way of handling it.
