    The purpose of this study is to identify the various instructional media used in adolescents sex education programmes their strengths and weaknesses and how to improve upon them. Data were obtained from facilitators, tutors, health workers, students and peer educators of sample facilities within the Kumasi Metropolis in Ashanti Region. Observations, questionnaires and interviews were carried out as research instruments. Results prove that there were high percentages of adolescents (peer educators) who have access to maximum oral presentation with minimal visual presentation and has lead them to their inability to understand and practice what they have learnt and to teach others. The issues adolescence inability to understand and practice what they have learnt and to teach others was addressed through providing new instructional media and improving upon the existing instructional media in the health sector as far as sex education is concerned. The improvement gave adolescents the necessary support and encouragement to be able to understand and practice what they have been taught.
