POPULATION & DEVELOPMENT (FOR GRADE 12, THE AGE OF DEPEENING)

The book series is all about education in human sexuality, based on the nourishment and cultivation of the natural gift of a person’s character. The series is based on the premise that SEXUALITY EDUCATION is, basically, CHARACTER EDUCATION, which in turn is founded on human dignity and encompasses formation in moral standards and human conduct; hence, covering the key elements of “life and love, and everything in between”.

Comprising an introductory volume for parents and teachers; a volume for classroom use of teachers; a volume for parents; and eight volumes for Grades 5 to 12, respectively, this current volume is specifically addressed to Grade 6 pupils, about 18 or 19 year olds in their late adolescence. It talks about POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT, a most contentious issue in today’s rapidly changing world and moral environment: its basic issues and assumptions; the economics of population; worldwide trends in population management; and the “demographic winter” of humanity, especially in the developed world. Understanding the basics and nuances of these questions would lead to more developmental, more responsible, decisions, with impact today and tomorrow, here and elsewhere.

The book series is characterized by sound, perennial concepts and by teaching and learning tools geared towards the age group being addressed.
