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 />
