	Education has proven to be vital in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Educated young people have decreased rates of infection, and better educated girls in particular, since rates of infection amongst teenage girls are five times higher than boys as presented in the previous section. Thus, HIV preventative education has become known as the ‘social vaccine’. Uganda is a good example of how HIV/AIDS related education in formal schooling, as well as community education programmes reduced prevalence rates from 18% in 1992 to 6% in 2002. Governments have introduced HIV-related educational programmes that include Lifeskills, Reproductive health programmes and other health interventions in schools. HIV/AIDS has had a big impact on pupils and teachers. Pupils have lost their parents to the disease and schools are facing the challenge of dealing with orphans and consequent high drop out rates amongst orphans who have lost one or both parent to the disease. Teachers have also been infected and are dying faster than they can be replaced.		Education has proven to be vital in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
