Sex Education Curriculum for Department for Education
Here is a curriculum, concise, easy to understand and teach, and cost effective.
Biology: Teach boys and girls to use condoms to prevent pregnancy and STDs.
Consent: Only consent to sex when you are really keen to do so. Talking with your partner helps you both decide what you want to do. Teach boys they are not entitled to another person's body. No means no. Teach girls assertiveness and to leave an uncomfortable or dangerous situation.
Homosexuality: It is fine if you are attracted to people of the same sex. There is civil partnership for homosexual adults.
Of course, there is more detail that can be added. It could be completed in 2 classes or more for a discussion, repetitive learning, such as always use a condom and how to maintain personal safety. The three main points are sufficient to what a government should advise, in safeguarding young people, physically and mentally.
Adolescents don't need a prescription of how to do sex. Sex is an experience of discovery between consenting people. It is important that the teachers or facilitators don't impose their opinions, as that could be grooming. We have overcorrected since the days of not talking about sex at all. There could be an emotional wellbeing element as well, but fundamentally, condoms and consent are the main points.
It is uncomfortable discussing sex and people have a lot of feelings around it. I don't believe it is for the government to manage peoples personal sex lives, once safeguarding is observed.
Do you think there are any other essential points that young people should know?
