POLICY GUIDELINES ON
THE CSE
Scope
CSE GOAL
 To provide a clear, consistent, and evidence-based guidance
on the essential minimum core content for sexuality
education in K-12 basic education.
 To provide learners from K-12 with age- and development –
appropriate, culturally relevant approach to teaching about
sexuality & relationships by providing scientifically
accurate, realistic, non-judgemental information.
 This is intended to prevent unhealthy consequences such as
teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and
transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
among others.
Aims of CSE
 Enhance the over-all wellness of the Filipino adolescents (physical,
mental, emotional, social & spiritual);
 Contribute to better learning outcomes, reduced dropout rate,
increased completion rate, and improved quality of learning;
 Ensure that adolescents have access to adequate and appropriate
information and health care education;
 Address the reproductive health concerns of adolescents, who are
exposed to risky behaviors that may cause damaging and long-term
consequences;
 Promote healthy and responsible sexual and social behavior among
adolescents.
Aims of CSE
 Develop mature and responsible children and young adolescents
imbued with desirable health values, which can assist them in
making rational decisions that can lead to satisfying productive,
and quality time;
 Provide teachers with a resource material for developing life skills
such as decision-making and problem-solving relative to
adolescent reproductive health; and
 Enable teachers to integrate key concepts and messages on
reproductive health concerns across the curriculum wherever these
can be done most appropriately.
Policy Statement
This policy will guide administrators and
educators to be reflective, flexible,
creative and innovative in their
facilitation of the teaching and learning
process. Futher, this will institutionalize
CSE, making it an integral part of lesson
planning, instructional design and
classroom and school activities.
Duties & Responsibilities
School
 Implement CSE programs & projects through curriculum integration
across learning areas, information dissemination and advocacy
campaigns, networking and partnerships.
 Include CSE programs and projects in the School Improvement Plan
 Initiate and conduct CSE-related classroom action researches, field
studies, and other data collection procedures articulated in the SIP
through the school publication/newsletter.
 Utilize the contextualized CSE learning resources.
 Include CSE in the conduct of SLAC sessions
Why Integrate?
 Integrative teaching mirrors the real world, and the
real world is not divided into disciplines.
 Integrative teaching provides connections among
subject areas so that students can better understand
that their learning has application to real life, that
learning is not just isolated bits of facts in a vacuum.
 Integrative teaching can help teachers surmount the
problem of the overcrowded curriculum.
Life Skills
Life Skills are abilities for adaptive and
positive behavior, that are enable
individuals to deal effectively with the
demands and challenges of everyday
life. (WHO, 1993).

As part of its efforts to provide safe spaces for learners, Duterte

said that the DepEd has formally launched the “Learner Rights and
Protection Office” website and a national hotline.

The “Learners Telesafe Contact Center Helpline” will allow the

agency to receive child protection complaints from learners
through landlines, e-mail, and messages through our Facebook
page.
 NEW

“As of November 27, 2023, our Helpline has received a

total number of 1,709 reports, with verbal abuse
committed against our learners ranking as the highest,
followed by sexual abuse and cyberbullying,” Duterte said.
 NEW

The number of students discontinuing their studies due to teenage pregnancy and early
marriage has decreased by over 88% given the availability of ALTERNATIVE
LEARNING PROGRAMS.
Continues to strengthen mechanisms to protect learners against all forms of violence,
discrimination, and dangers.
1,017 teen centers were reactivated for health resources and referrals, and child
protection committees were formed to teach students to recognize violence,
exploitation, and sexual abuse.
 NEW

To ensure our students’ and teachers’ health, we urge the DOH to work with the
DepEd by strengthening health centers to support the network of school-based
health facilities and dental clinics,” said Marcos.

“No bully zone”

“Every school will steadfastly stand as a no-bully zone; a sanctuary for diversity, a
resource center for teens, a psychosocial first aid center, a mental health nurturer,
a bulwark against the drug menace. A safe space for all. And most importantly, a
safe space for our children,” Marcos added.

The 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) found that
one out of three Filipino students are bullied.
The DepEd has identified bullying as one of the main hindrances to student
learning, resulting in dismal scores in the Pisa.
