The new curriculum, launched by French Education Minister Elisabeth Borne, aims to tackle sexual violence and violence against women and girls. The syllabus will include three sex education sessions per year for primary, middle, and secondary schools, covering topics such as gender identity, biological sex, and consent. The program will be age-appropriate and adjusted to the maturity of the pupils, with role-play scenarios to teach consent and discussions on the distinctions between biological sex, gender, and sexual orientation. The initiative has been submitted for approval to France’s Higher Education Council.
Gender identity turns hot-button topic as France attempts sex education reform
Thirteen-year-olds will be introduced to distinctions between biological sex, gender, and sexual orientation, while by age 14, students will discuss the multifaceted nature of sexuality, including pleasure, love, and reproduction. By the time students are 16, lessons will focus on biological differences and their irrelevance to self-expression, behaviour, and societal roles.
