France is launching a transformative sex education program in schools, starting lessons on gender equality and consent for children as young as four. Education Minister Elisabeth Borne emphasizes the importance of teaching about love, relationships, and sexuality to combat violence against women and children. The curriculum rollout includes age-appropriate discussions, role-play exercises, and topics evolving through students' development, from basic concepts to complex realities of sexuality by age 16. This initiative aims to enrich students' understanding of their bodies, relationships, and boundaries while not replacing parental guidance.
The programme is very careful to provide quality information that is adapted to a pupil's age.
Education about love, about relationships and sexuality is absolutely essential.
It will include age-appropriate discussions around gender identity and biological sex for children as young as four.
By age 14, students will explore the complex reality of sexuality, discussing its facets of pleasure, love and reproduction.
