Sex education is crucial for in terms of taking care of one’s body and having gender equity perspective. It provides accurate knowledge and the right attitude of sexual matters for students and helps to protect oneself from sexual violence. Disabled students, however, their incapacity to protect themselves is an issue of great dimensions to themselves and even preceding research is being done on targeting special-education school or elementary special school special class. Hence, this study discussed to see the level of awareness about sex education program of special class teachers among middle and high school and to grasp the actual condition of organization and implementation of the sex education program whether it is properly handled in these schools. This study is based on 94 special education teachers for middle school and high school in Gyeonggi Goyang, eighty one parts are used as research materials. The collected data was taken statistics through SPSS (ver. 21.0), statistical program, for verifying outlined purpose of study. In the result of this study, above all, special education teachers in middle and high school showed high interest in sex education program. Their speaking with one voice was about a shortage of the number of those exclusively responsible for the problems of sex education program. Next, most of these schools have generally organized and implemented curriculum contents about sex education program at special class, but some school (12.3%) have not organized, 18.5% have not included contents about sex education program in their course of instruction for special class. On the basis of these result, some suggestions are following. First, it is required to open an exclusive responsibility for sex education program with a more active support. Special classes in middle and high school still assign all education to teachers in charge at special class without additional institutional guidelines. This is the same on organizing and implementing sex education program. Such being the case, the education bureau of Cities and Provinces should actively research how to organize and implement sex education program for special class for supporting special education teachers and should share teacher training program for this. Lastly, this study is based on with Gyeonggi Goyang as the center of all special education teachers in middle and high school. Therefore, it needs to be careful not to generalize all special class in middle and high school has same problem. Consequently, more studies on the implementation of the sex education program for special class in middle and high school are called on to this area.
