Abstract: Teacher readiness is an essential element in teaching and learning process. Sex education implementation depends on teacher readiness to teach the subject. In Malaysia, sex education is taught in various subjects namely Islamic Education, Moral Education, Science, Additional Science and Biology. In Islamic Education, there are some topics related to sex education that are taught. Islamic Education teachers are responsible to increase student?s understanding of the concept of sex education from the Islamic view. Therefore, Islamic Education teachers should know how to convey religious values within the topics taught. Internalization of a clear and complete set of religious values in the students could protect them spiritually, emotionally and intellectually from any destructive and corrupt elements. Islamic Education teachers have to ensure that all its teaching is more effective with respect to its implication and internalization especially its function for student?s self protection in conduct. Most importantly, they should make a connection between Islamic religion/ethical theory and practice.

This study focused on Islamic Education teachers from secondary school in Malaysia.
