The report also sets these findings and next steps within the broader context of the Caribbean plan for action and presents in its appendixes sample resources to guide the development of a comprehensive response to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV&AIDS) by the education sector. The priority placed on the education sector's response is based on evidence that education contributes towards the knowledge and personal skills essential for the prevention of HIV, and protects individuals, families, communities, institutions, and nations from the impact of AIDS. Education helps to overcome the conditions that facilitate the spread of HIV and can create the understanding and tolerance that contribute to reduced stigma and discrimination against vulnerable and marginalized communities and people living with HIV. The CARICOM regional body in the Caribbean, as well as leadership at the national level, has demonstrated commitment to accelerating the education sector response to HIV&AIDS. To fully maximize efforts at the national and regional levels, including (i) information and research; (ii) capacity building for planning, decision- making and coordination; (iii) strengthening teacher education and learning materials; and (iv) stigma, discrimination and human rights, including attention to cultural differences, will be addressed more systematically.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACCESS TO CONDOMSACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMEACTIVE LEARNINGADULT EDUCATIONAIDAIDS CRISISAIDS EDUCATIONAIDS EPIDEMICAIDS PREVENTIONAIDS PREVENTION EDUCATIONAIDS PROGRAMAIDS PROJECTAIDS PROJECTSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIS FOR ACTIONBEHAVIORAL SURVEILLANCECAPACITY BUILDINGCAREGIVERSCASES OF AIDSCHILD DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITIESCONDOMCONDOM DISTRIBUTIONCURRICULUMCURRICULUM CONTENTCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUM REQUIREMENTSDEVELOPMENT OF POLICIESDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION IN RECRUITMENTDISSEMINATIONDRUG USEDRUGSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION PROJECTSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL PLANNINGEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSEDUCATORSEFFECTIVE ACTIONEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONEFFECTIVE PREVENTIONEPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATAEPIDEMIOLOGYEXISTING RESOURCESFAMILY LIFE EDUCATIONGENDERGIRLSGLOBAL CAMPAIGNGLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATIONGREENHOUSE GASESHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH SECTORHEALTH-SECTORHIVHIV INFECTIONHIV TRANSMISSIONHIV-AIDSHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN RIGHTSIMMUNE DEFICIENCYIMMUNODEFICIENCYIMPACT OF AIDSINCLUSIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINJECTING DRUG USERSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSINTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONINTERVENTIONSKNOWLEDGE SHARINGLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEGAL STATUSLIFE SKILLSLIFELONG LEARNINGLIFESTYLESLITERACYLOCAL CAPACITYMAINSTREAMMAINSTREAMINGMALARIAMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTERS OF HEALTHMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMINORITIESMORTALITYNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL POLICYNATURAL RESOURCESNUTRITIONOFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEORPHANSPANDEMICPEER EDUCATIONPLAN OF ACTIONPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY GUIDANCEPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL SUPPORTPREVALENCE RATEPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROGRESSPSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTPUBLIC DISCUSSIONPUPILSQUALITY EDUCATIONREFUGEESREGIONAL EDUCATIONREGIONAL INITIATIVESREGIONAL NETWORKSREGIONAL POLICIESREGIONAL STRATEGYRELIGIOUS LEADERSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESOURCE STREAMSRESPECTRIGHTS PERSPECTIVERISK FACTORSRISKY BEHAVIORSSCHOOL AGESCHOOL AGE CHILDRENSCHOOL HEALTHSCHOOL SURVEYSCHOOL SURVEY DATASCHOOLSSECTORAL POLICIESSENSITIVE ISSUESSEXSEX EDUCATIONSEX WITH MENSEX WORKERSSEXUAL ABUSESEXUAL ACTIVITYSEXUAL TRANSMISSIONSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONSOCIETYSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUPPLY NEEDSTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER MANUALSTEACHER RECRUITMENTTEACHER SUPPLYTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTIONSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING METHODSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL SUPPORTTEXTBOOKSTOLERANCETRADITIONAL HEALERSTREATMENT ACCESSTRINIDAD AND TOBAGOTUBERCULOSISUNAIDSUNFPAUNIONSUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMENUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDUNIVERSAL ACCESSVOLUNTARY COUNSELINGVOLUNTARY COUNSELLINGVULNERABLE CHILDRENYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7476-4
