Government leaders, educators, and practitioners are trying to alter the course of the AIDS pandemic through educational programs directed at children.  Most respondents in the study claimed that their schools do not teach HIV/AIDS education.  A large portion also said they do not have a good understanding of HIV/AIDS.  The idea of educational programs within schools was received positively by all parties, including students and adminstrators.  There are also suggestions for other intervention mediums in HIV/AIDS education.
