THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF ACADEMIC EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT IN STD PREVENTION WITHIN CHINA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

In China, sexually transmitted diseases have become a public health emergency, and the prevalence rate among adolescents is high. This study discusses the role of the administrative-educational system in reducing the spread of disease through school education strategies on sexual health. Using the theory of healthy behavior models and institutional management, three structural obstacles have been identified: ideologies under cultural influence are in conflict, curriculum structure and teaching methods have fundamental drawbacks, and the infrastructure system for professional development of teachers does not work. A comprehensive analysis of epidemiological monitoring data and case studies of institutions at the micro level shows deep differences in the application of the regulatory framework of policy and the actual results of activities. A reform framework has been developed that includes three aspects: using community participation to address long-standing cultural barriers; developing evidence-based curriculum content that is consistent with developmental level and integrates cognitive and emotional learning areas; and the establishment of a comprehensive system for the improvement of teacher skills. The main argument is that to effectively prevent and combat sexually transmitted diseases, sexual health education should be reviewed as a primary administrative function of the education management system, rather than as a marginalized method of medical intervention.
