The study determined the beliefs and practices on sexuality and reproductive health among Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEEd) and Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSEd). There were 304 respondents comprised of 191 females and 113 males, ages ranging from 18-29 years old. In this study research design utilized the descriptive and inferential design in order to assess sexuality and reproductive health. A survey with the use of a structured questionnaire for data collection was modified from the Illustrative questionnaire for Interview-Surveys with Young People by John Cleland. The questionnaire covered BSEd and BEEd students of the College of Education, who have reached puberty but have not yet been married. Scores were carefully recorded and ensure the data collected were accurate. Data were used in the analysis and interpretation of data on age, sex, and socio-economic status of the subjects and respondents. Student-respondents were conscious of the issue of gender and sexuality but they have misconceptions that lead to answering undecided in the instrument. The extent of the student-respondents practice of natural contraception was “slightly practiced” where withdrawal was highest. The extent of the student-respondents practice of artificial contraception was “never practiced”. Student-respondents were aware of the presence of Reproductive Health (RH) Law in the country but they have misconceptions over the Law like on abortion and policy concerning women. There was no significant difference in their knowledge of gender and sexuality, HIV/AIDS, Reproductive Health Law, natural contraception across all year levels concerned, and practice of artificial contraception.
