Abstract

The rise of cases of sexual harassment in Indonesia, one of which occurs in elementary school children, is the goal of this study. In addition, this study aims to analyze the needs of teachers and students on the importance of sex education for children in elementary schools. Methodology This research uses descriptive qualitative, with interviews with four (4) teachers and three (3) elementary school students. The results show the importance of implementing sex education materials for children in schools. Based on interviews with research informants, sex education materials for children should use interesting learning media strategies, so that learning is fun, students are active and easy to understand sex education materials for children, although there are no special lessons for sex education for children in elementary schools, but based on needs analysis, this material is very important given to elementary school students since low grade, besides that there are students who do not understand the development of their bodies, do not understand the body parts that other people can and cannot touch, how to take care of the body properly and correctly. Thus, it can be concluded that sex education for children has not been fully implemented in elementary schools, and it is very important to implement it in schools.
