Education

"An educational program which provides for a study of the population situation in the family, community, nation and the world with the purpose of developing national and responsible attitudes and behavior towards that situation" UENSCO has defined it as population education in Bangkok. The definition clears that population education is such as educational process which makes people aware of how they can lead a happy and prosperous life by acquainting themselves with the condition of the population growth in a family, community. At the same time it makes people and country aware of the effect of the population growth. It also helps people take a decision when there is an increase in population growth. In terms of school education, population education can be cleared as "a process of developing awareness and understanding of population situation as well as rational attitude and behavior in the subject towards those situation by realizing their own responsibilities, so they can better deal with population problems for the attainment of quality life."
Population education can be said as family planning ; it is because in population education, the issues of family planning and the use of contraceptives is dealt with. It is also called sex education as things such as human reproduction, sex and sexual behavior are also incorporated into this subject. It is also sometimes called population statistics as we carry out the study of population components, processes and measurement in arithmetic and statistics. Whatever the people say with the time and circumstances it is not reality. It is neither sex education nor family planning. However, it does not mean that the matter related with sex and family planning is not included in population education. It is neither the study of population statistics nor population as they carry out their own goals and objectives.
To sum up, population education means multimensional education process of economics, social and environmental problem resulting from the change in population. It not only deals with the solutions of these problems and the adverse effects of increase in population growth but also feels responsible to tackle these problems accordingly.
