AntiSocial: Sex education and schools

Sex education and schools

BBC Radio 4 - AntiSocial, Sex education and schools

Some school pupils are learning about pleasure, and parents think it’s too explicit.

Some school pupils are learning about pleasure, and parents think it’s too explicit. The debate online has been fuelled by the fact that schools aren't sharing lesson plans.

After sex education was made compulsory in England in 2019, many schools started bringing in external companies to teach the subject. But with no formal regulation, a vast range of lessons are being offered and some providers refuse to let parents know what's being taught. It's led to some misinformation spreading online and a debate about whether some things are too explicit to learn at school.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
