The new concept of reproductive health emphasises the importance of sex education. Family Life Education is an educational process to assist young people to cope with changes during adolescence and to enable them to become responsible parents. Family Life Education is being conducted in India for almost thirty-five years. The pioneer in starting Family Life Education in India has been the Family Planning Association of India. (Israel Sarah : 1967). The terminology differs but the ideas and issues are the same : Sex Education Population Education are the terms used commonly. Any programme that is conducted should take into account the political and sociocultural aspects of the country. A prerequisite for conducting a Family Life Education (FLE) programme is the mental preparation of the population especially the parents. In India (Kodagoda : 1986) the discussion about sexuality is disagreeable and the introduction of any such programme is met with hostility. Therefore there is a need to sensitise the parents especially the mothers of adolescent girls.
