A draft report of the review of Relationships and sexuality education has been published.
The report follows an extensive consultation of parents, teachers and pupils by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA).
The report calls for ‘modernising’ sex education in areas like consent and LGBT issues.
It says that while some issues will take time, there are others for which ”students cannot wait” and “schools need support now”.
The NCCA is now inviting people to comment on the draft report via an online survey on their website, or by emailing a written submission to RSEreview@ncca.ie. Feedback can be offered until Oct 25th 2019.
