The role of population-education programs is to increase awareness & to broaden the perspective & perception of population issues. Population education can be defined as an educational process which helps people: (1) learn the probable causes & consequences of population phenomena for themselves & their communities; (2) define for themselves & their communities the nature of the problems related to population processes & characteristics; & (3) assess the possible effective ways in which society & individuals can respond to & influence these processes to enhance the quality of life. Before a definitive population education planning strategy can be evolved, more research is needed on the nature & stages of population learning, as well as on population socialization. The content of population education over-all ranges extensively over social & biological sciences. In planning the content for population-education programs, 5 headings can be classified: research on the sociocultural characteristics of the society, on the learners' perceptions of population issues, on sources of population information, on the nature of population learning & socialization, & on the strengths & weaknesses of the various settings within the educational system for filling roles within the total population-education program. l Figure.
