Sexual education 2010, para. 13

Paragraph
Paragraph text
As in all areas of education, sexual education must be adapted to different age groups and cultures. In addition, teaching strategies must be differentiated and flexible to meet the differing needs of female and male students, taking into account the fact that persons with special needs - such as young people not attending school or young married women - need to be taught about sexuality through methods other than formal education, as do adults who, often because of misconceptions, do not have a full sexual life.
