Current educational policy in Nigeria does not provide for the integration of Sexuality Education (SE) into the school curriculum mainly because policy makers do not have reliable data on vital issues such as topic appropriateness and teachers’ competence/willingness to teach the subject. The study investigated teachers’ perception of appropriate topics for SE and determine their level of preparedness should SE be introduced in schools. In a survey of 612 teachers, it was found that most teachers recommended the teaching of abstinence and relationship skills in secondary schools. Though the teachers supported the intro- duction of SE, most of them indicated that they would be uncomfortable teaching it. Adequate preparation of teachers was recommended before introducing SE into school curriculum in Nigeria.
