Summary
An important aspect of education is that it ought to give one a satisfying perspective on life. Family planning education should take into account the background motives and goals of the people concerned, and methods should be adjusted accordingly. In the case of the Coloured people, such education is directed mainly at the lower working class, often members of the subculture of poverty, and the special characteristics of this subculture should be noted. These should not be ignored or described negatively, as they may be essential for survival in that subculture. Economic development remains vital.
