Junior foreign affairs minister Seán Fleming defended the DCU sexual health course for secondary school teachers despite Education Minister Norma Foley expressing dissatisfaction with its content.
Fleming noted that the complaint he received regarding the SPHE program was taken seriously and highlighted the concerns related to its suitability for educators.
In his statement, Fleming emphasized that education on sexual health is evolving and must be relevant to the current societal context, acknowledging that some may dispute the course's approach.
The ongoing dialogue between the departments and educational institutions illustrates the necessity of balancing health education with public perception and parental concerns.
