Sexual education 2010, para. 51
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In Europe, sexual education is taught as a cross-cutting subject. This is the case in Portugal, where it is dealt with in courses on biology, geography, philosophy and religion, and in Belgium, where the moral and ethical aspects of sexuality are dealt with in lessons on morals and religion. In Denmark, Estonia and, to a lesser degree, France, the topic is included in civics classes, adopting a broader approach. Other countries deal with it from the biological viewpoint. The focus on biological aspects does emphasize the importance of health education but often neglects relational and affective issues, undermining the comprehensive approach.
