Sex education to be compulsory in Irish schools

Article here. Excerpt:

'The relationships and sexuality lessons will teach pupils about "nurturing respectful, caring and healthy relationships."

Among the topics covered will be "consent, intimacy and mutual pleasure" and how to identify abusive or violent relationships.

That will include "a particular focus on violence against women and girls."

In the Into Adulthood lessons, pupils will be taught about "allyship skills" to challenge unfair or abusive behaviour.

According to the NCCA, that involves "recognising and using one’s privileged status (for example as white or male or Irish person) to support individuals from minority identity groups".'
