Manual for integrating HIV & AIDS education in school curricula

This tool was developed by IBE/UNESCO with the goal to improve teaching and learning on HIV & AIDS in official basic education curricula by providing a set of tools, assembled in a manual, to support the development and adaptation of quality teaching and learning material for HIV & AIDS education, as well as teacher training.

This manual consists of ten tools which can be either used individually or together.

The following seven tools cover more technical aspects of the process of developing and implementing curricula and school programmes.
