Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to assess parents’ attitude towards offering of sexuality education at schools. The study was conducted during 2016 in five districts of Tamil Nadu. Totally 529 respondents were interviewed. A multistage sampling method was adopted to select the target population - ever married couples living with at least one child in the age group of 13-19 years. In the study area majority of the study population had the opinion to introduce the family life education to the students however the female respondents little more favour to introduce the sexuality education for students than the male respondents. It also noticed that among the religious groups, Muslims less favoured to teach sexuality education for students. Irrespective of the respondents’ background condition majority of them were favoured to introduce family life education. Hence it is recommended that the teaching of sexuality education in schools should be made compulsory at national level. However it should be age appropriate and culturally sensitive keeping with the current SRHR needs of young people in India.
