Abstract

Why should family planning be taught to slow learners at the junior high school level? This question can be answered only by those who are aware of the problems of overpopulation and characteristics of slow learners that directly influence childbearing. Population education, which is being promoted by persons alarmed by rapid population expansion, is an area in which a great many subject matter fields can share responsibility. It appears that home economics can make a unique contribution through teaching family planning.
