Paragraph
Sexual education 2010, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- The importance of the sexual diversity approach, which is linked to the gender perspective, should be emphasized. Regrettably, few sexual education programmes and curricula include this approach. The aforementioned Yogyakarta Principles are a fundamental tool for inclusion of the diversity perspective in the public policies that have to be taken into account in education.

Paragraph
Sexual education 2010, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- In the Asia-Pacific region, sexual education tends to be provided via subjects such as biology, science and health. All the countries of the region claim that HIV education is included at the secondary level; six of them claim that it is included at the primary level and 13 include it in teacher training. However, in some countries of the region, sexual education is limited to its biological or moral aspects, ignoring the broad range of areas in which it affects people's lives.51

Paragraph
The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- In reality, State, intergovernmental and civil society practices vary markedly in the age groups, gender balance, intensity and location of those targeted. Disturbingly, monitoring and evaluating practice and programmes is limited. It is also clear from evidence that their “success” is by no means consistent. The Special Rapporteur urges more sharing of best practice and draws attention to the importance of regional answers to regional needs. Regions might also consider developing a global dimension in their curriculum; this would help develop an awareness of near neighbours in order to promote greater understanding and create the basis for mutual learning within the region.

Paragraph
Sexual education 2010, para. 51
- 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.
