HIV/AIDS and Education: A Toolkit for Ministries of Education

This 45-page toolkit aims to promote HIV/AIDS preventive education and to increase understanding of the relationship between HIV/AIDS and education. It additionally seeks to impact people working in the education sector, especially mid- to senior-level officials in Ministries of Education, so that they see what a crucial role they can play in effecting change. One of the central messages of this publication is that HIV/AIDS prevention should not be left only to the health sector, but that the education sector has a crucial role to play in the response to the epidemic.

The toolkit includes information sheets, a fact sheet, case studies, a glossary, a collection of references and links, as well as a PowerPoint presentation to enable the audience to pass on information to their colleagues and counterparts.
