Primary schools in England want to teach their pupils about sex, relationships and about alcohol. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) wants primary schools and also secondary schools to become aware of these subjects. They want to inform the pupils about the consequences of having unsafe sex, bad relations and binge drinking. The pupils should be informed in time before it is too late, says a health adviser. The government is developing a new curriculum for most schools in England. NICE declared that teachers should give the lessons preparatory because these are serious issues in the society.
The reason I chose this news item, is that I agree that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence want to inform the pupils about having unsafe sex, bad relationships and binge drinking. The schools should work with NICE because nowadays this might become a serious issue for most pupils around the age of 11. Pupils should know what to do if they get in touch with these issues. Schools should know that some parents will not agree if the teachers give lessons about this, so they have to limit the information to prevent problems with parents.
