Adolescence Education Programme

Background

Global and Indian experiences have shown that educational interventions focused on life skills development have proven very effective in empowering adolescents to manage their Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health issues and concerns, including avoidance of risky behaviour. Keeping this as also the CBSE mandate in mind, AEP has been integrated to our curriculum.

Administered by the counsellors and other competent faculty, our AEP is an intervention to impart accurate and adequate knowledge about the process of growing up with a focus on reproductive and sexual health in its biological, psychological and socio-cultural dimensions, emotional health and facing challenges with necessary life skills.
