| Sumario: | Sex education began in Costa Rica in the early 1920s, led by doctors and the concern that high school male students could acquire venereal diseases. Shortly afterwards, and by the initiative of the female teachers, this education was expanded to cover, specifically, feminine topics associated with motherhood and the upbringing of children. This feminization deepened in the 1930s. After 1940, as the catholic church reinforced its influence on the education system, sexual education was headed by the Ministry of Public Health, whose activities related to that education were supported by female educators. |
