Teachers are the closest ones to students while studying at school. The increase of teachers’ understanding on reproductive health in adolescents’ can be an easier effort when doing the mentoring to the female students in the optimization of their rights and reproductive functions. This study used pre-experiment one group pre-test and post-test design. The population and the sample were the teachers at SMK Sukorambi and SMAN I Mumbulsari Jember who have an involvement in guidance and counselling. The data were collected by using total sampling method with the number of the teachers for each location was 16 teachers, so that the total samples was 32 samples. The independent variables were educational intervention and the dependent variables were teachers’ perceptions about adolescents’ reproductive health, sex, unwanted pregnancy, early pregnancy and the dangers of abortion. The variables were then measured by using a Likert scale with data analysis of Paired T-Test. The results confirmed the influence of the educational efforts of the teachers’ perceptions. The results retrieved from SMAN 1 Mumbulsari were the perceptions about adolescents’ reproductive health (p = 0.000), sex (p = 0.007), abortion (p = 0.000) unwanted pregnancy (p = 0.000) and early pregnancy (p = 0.000). Whereas the results retrieved from the teachers at SMK 5 Sukorambi were the perception of adolescents’ reproductive health (p = 0.000), sex (p = 0.017), abortion (p = 0.000) unwanted pregnancy (p = 0.000) and early pregnancy (p = 0.000). This study highlights the influence of educational efforts towards teachers’ perception on adolescents’ reproductive health and its problems as an optimization of competencies in mentoring teenage girls at school. The recommendation of this study is that the provision of educational programs for teachers about adolescents’ reproductive health can be provided on an ongoing basis in supporting teacher performances.
