Abstract

This study examined influence of religion and school type on sexual behaviour among secondary school students. The study adopted survey research design. The population consisted of all secondary school students in Ondo metropolis. Stratified random sampling technique was to select fifty (50) students from six (6) secondary schools (i.e. Public schools – one male, one female, two mixed and two private mixed schools) based on school type, making a total of three hundred (300) students as sample for the study. Structured questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Sexual Behaviour among Secondary School Students (QSBSSS) was used as instrument to collect data for the study. Reliability of the instrument was ascertained using Cronbach’s Alpha statistics which yielded a coefficient of 0.82. Data collected was analyzed using t-test. The results showed that there is no significant difference in the sexual behaviour of Christian and Muslim secondary school students. It was also found that there is a significant difference in the sexual behaviour of students from mixed-sex and single-sex secondary schools. It was therefore recommended that every religious group should work on fighting early sexual initiation among the adolescents. Secondary school students should be exposed to the dangers of early sexual initiation and how to avoid it. Girls should be enlightened on how to be more assertive in their relationship with boys.
