I am currently in my last year of sixth form and truth be told I haven't had a sex education lesson since year ten, which means it has been three years. Although I myself am educated, some of my fellow students and close friends are totally uneducated and perhaps this is down to my school not continuing to teach sex education in the later years of school. The only students in my school who are taught sex education are those who take double health and social which I find completely unfair and wrong. We are given lessons of enrichment which are totally a waste of time as during our enrichment period we are taught how to read newspapers correctly and the difference between tabloid and broadsheet??? perhaps these periods could be turned into useful and important lessons such as sex education and even basic personal hygiene (my school is really germ ridden)
Do you think I should speak up to the school about this and if so how would I go about this? would I speak to the head of the school, the schools council?
What are your thoughts on this and also, does your school each sex education?
