| Abstract: | Despite recent progress in meeting the goals of the Education for All agenda, certain groups of young people are particularly
vulnerable to exclusion and underachievement, including children with HIV/AIDS, children living in poverty, and children with
disabilities. HIV/AIDS has reduced many young people’s rights to access education, to live a full and healthy life, and to
have a life as a child. This article focuses on attempts to continue to empower young people to protect themselves from HIV
by exploring the dynamics around HIV-related education in schools, in particular by examining the role that young people’s
knowledge can play in improving curricula and thus reducing HIV/AIDS rates. The authors draw on qualitative research in a
total of eight schools in Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Preliminary findings suggest that pupil consultation and dialogue
can be used to inform thinking on the curriculum for HIV education. |
