“…The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) 2010 stated that sex education is more effective when implemented in collaboration with adolescents, which can be applied both at and outside school (Campero et al, 2021). In addition, sexual education based on the school curriculum can also be used to become comprehensive sexual education which contains the learning process of cognitive, emotional, physical, and social aspects of sexuality (Santelli et al, 2021).

The number of reports of poor reproductive and sexual health in adolescents is enormous. Sexual education is very critical for adolescent health. Sexual education has shown more effective results when implemented in collaboration with adolescents. Lack of educational resources, issues considered taboo and cultural boundaries, and lack of trust in maintaining confidentiality cause ambiguity and misconceptions about sexual education. Implementing sexual education involves many parties, so this study aimed to analyze the stakeholders' perspectives on sexual education delivery for adolescents. This systemic review was conducted to find relevant articles in Scopus, CINAHL, Science Direct, and ProQuest databases—the research guideline using The PRISMA checklist. The eligibility criteria and The JBI Checklist were prepared as a guide in measuring article quality. In the final review, twelve articles were included. The articles mentioned parents, adolescents, teachers, and other stakeholders' perspectives. Parents' perspectives have who is responsible for educating adolescents, taboo and lack of communication skills between parent-child, contents of sexual education, and delayed sexual education. Adolescents' perspectives, such as sources and ideal versions of sexual education. Teachers' perspectives include people who should be responsible and skill-based teachers. Meanwhile, other stakeholders' perspectives have school-based, religious challenges, partnerships, and communication strategies with adolescents. This study shows the need for improvement in delivering sexual education. Keywords: Stakeholders; sexual education; skill-based teachers; parents care; communication skills

The educational disparity is a serious concern in the world. This paper will focus on the current situation of educational inequality in China, analyzing the causes and consequences of inequality in terms of both geography and gender, and how it affects social development at a macro level. Immediately after, the paper will present the measures that China has taken to address educational inequality, such as the Rural School Mapping Adjustment policy and the Double Reduction policy. These two policies have improved the treatment of geographical disparity and gender inequality respectively, but their effects are still insufficient. While going into the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies, this paper will compare them with the policies of other countries in order to give critical suggestions to reduce educational disparity, from the perspective of region and gender. The paper will demonstrate that policymaking has a significant impact on social norms and inequality problems. The paper suggests that China follows the example of other countries in dividing the distribution of power within the education system, such as involving non-profit organizations and promoting sex education in K-12. In conclusion, the government has a major responsibility to design policies that are fair and effective to address educational disparities.

“…Between 2006-2010 and 2011-2013, there was a significant decline in the receipt of education about contraception for both males and females. 15 , 16 Due to inconsistencies in sex education across the US, many adolescents fill in the gaps in sex education by turning to social media. 17 This lack of access to sex education predisposes at-risk populations to inadequate education and perpetuates a cycle of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and other adverse health outcomes.…”
