Sexual health in educational centers
According to the news “Spain suspends in Sex Education:‘ Young people seek information and if you don’t give it, they will go to the Internet and the Porn ’of the Eldiario.It is, in Spain there is a bad and little sex education. The workshops and talks that are held are scarce, discontinuous and sometimes create confusion among young people or become a reason for conflict with their families.
In February of this year the Ministry of Education and Health worked on a project to introduce this as a subject.
Raquel Hurtado, coordinator of the Social Intervention Area of the State Federation of Family Planning and Educator in Workshops in Institutes and Colleges says that schools would have to teach this subject that the UN defines as essential for the health and well -being of children and young people. Another issue that Hurtado addresses is that of age What is the perfect or ideal age to give this information? Well, the government considers that this age is the one in the first cycle of ESO, and if you are lucky.
Since not all centers give this type of talk. ‘As they say, sex education in Spain is limited, hopefully, to a talk at some point the ESO. In a timely, messy and without continuity ‘. Time is also another point that the educator plays, since according to her it is too limited to address everything involved. For her it is an important contradiction that presents this absence in the school curriculum. The ages also come into play, since these talks or classes are almost always taught in the first cycle of ESO, when it is suspected that the boys and girls begin to have relationships or the case has already happened.
The main problem here is the emptiness in the legislation, since apparently anyone can give a class on sex education, erroneous. Something important that should be highlighted is this, the lack of preparation that educators who give such information in the workshops have.
An official and pioneer project is Skolae, from the Government of Navarra, based on coeducation and ‘at all stages’, as they declare from the Ministry of Education that they want for all of Spain. The end of this project is to educate and have scientific answers to children’s questions, all these things do not do in tutorial classes or subjects, but it is a way of teaching.
