"The bill, which the lower house of parliament has passed, allows the teaching of sex education in middle schools, so for children aged 11-14, but only with written parental consent. The bill, which the senate would have to pass before it became law, is in line with the current procedures in high schools. Sex education is banned in primary schools."
"The under-secretary for education, Rossano Sasso, said the bill was intended to prevent younger children from being taught theories that cause confusion while requiring parental consent for sex education to be taught to older children. With this law, we are saying goodbye to gender ideology and the woke bubble, he told the lower house. Political activists will no longer be allowed to engage in political propaganda in schools."
A lower-house bill would allow sex education in middle schools (ages 11–14) only with written parental consent and would ban sex education in primary schools. Italy remains one of the few EU countries without compulsory sex education despite evidence that comprehensive relationship and sex education helps prevent violence against women and girls. Opposition parties protested the bill as regressive and harmful to efforts to prevent sexual violence and femicide. The ruling coalition frames sex education as a threat from gender ideology and seeks parental oversight. The education under-secretary warned against perceived disruptive theories and political propaganda in schools.
