A national parents’ advocacy group has condemned the Welsh Government’s decision to make Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) a compulsory school subject in all schools in Wales.
From 2021, parents in Wales will no longer be able to withdraw their children from lessons on relationships and sexuality.
The Welsh Government began a project in October collecting feedback on changing the curriculum to remove the option for parents to stop children studying Religious Education (RE) and RSE, Education Minister Kirsty Williams said in a statement.
“After careful consideration of the responses, I can confirm that there will not be a right to withdraw from RE and RSE as part of the new curriculum. This change will require careful and sensitive implementation,” she said.
