Pham Xuan Tung talks eagerly and takes notes for his group during a biology lesson on HIV transmission and the virus' replication in blood
cells. This new type of highly interactive class is something Tung, a student at Hoang Quoc Viet upper secondary school in Dong Trieu District, Quang Ninh Province, clearly enjoys.

The class is based on a new, integrated reproductive health and HIV prevention curriculum for secondary school students that is being developed and piloted by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), with support from the United Nations and Save the Children in Viet Nam. Many students of Tung's age in Quang Ninh Province, Quang Tri Province and Ho Chi Minh City are receiving the new pilot curriculum.
