New DVD on HIV & AIDS Education in the classroom
To mark World AIDS Day, the IBE has launched a new DVD on HIV & AIDS Education in the classroom. This film provides concrete examples of pedagogical interactions on issues related to HIV & AIDS education. The sequences were shot in classrooms in Guyana with learners aged 5 to 13 and in a teachers’ training classroom. The situations are particularly adapted to the Caribbean context but are also useful in other cultural environments.
