Сonducted educational and pedagogical work on the topic: “Contraception. Sexual education of young people. Prevention of unwanted pregnancy in minors”, the issues of sex education of the younger generation, the formation of a value attitude towards their health among young people were considered.

Modern medical and sociological studies indicate a deterioration in the health of children during puberty. In recent years, a progressive increase in the younger generation of venereal and gynecological diseases, disorders in sexual development, and the frequency of cases of antisocial sexual behavior (sexual promiscuity, sexual aggression, and abortion) has become particularly dangerous. One of the most severe consequences of sexual lack of culture is an extremely low contraceptive culture, as a result of which artificial abortion remains the leading method of planning and regulating fertility. The younger generation should be literate in matters of contraception.

The teachers talked about methods of contraception: they stopped at classifications such as: hormonal, intrauterine, chemical, surgical, barrier, mechanical, emergency contraception and so on, talked about puberty, about female and male reproductive systems. She focused on the effectiveness, indications and contraindications of each method, and showed the formula of the Pearl index. In Kazakhstan, there are orders regarding termination of pregnancy and artificial abortion, more precisely, I stopped at the order of the Ministry of Health №1. 626 dated July 28, 2015.
