3. Policy and strategies<br />
In 2008/2009, the Ministry of <strong>Education</strong> launched a<br />
comprehensive <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Sector</strong> HIV/AIDS Policy<br />
and Strategy that responds to the crisis posed<br />
to the sector. The overall goal of the Policy and<br />
Strategy is to develop an HIV/AIDS response with<br />
a view to creating an HIV/AIDS free environment<br />
in the education sector in Ethiopia. Its objectives<br />
are to prevent the spread of HIV, in collaboration<br />
with Ministry of Health and other Ministries, in<br />
the public/private and formal/informal education<br />
sectors by targeting learners/trainees, teachers,<br />
facilitators, families and other education sector<br />
staff. Its major components aimed at mitigating<br />
the pandemic are (1) mainstreaming HIV &<br />
AIDS interventions into the education sector’s<br />
structures and processes; (2) integrating HIV &<br />
AIDS issues as pertinent research topics of the<br />
tertiary level institutions and (3) promoting HIV/<br />
AIDS awareness through extracurricular means<br />
such as Anti-HIV/AIDS Clubs at schools. The<br />
Policy and Strategy framework provides detailed<br />
activities to be implemented in prevention, care<br />
and support for students and personnel in the<br />
sector 3 .<br />
