UK Government Proposes Age Limits for Sex Education in Schools

New draft guidance aims to protect children, but faces criticism over potential drawbacks.

New guidance will restrict sex education to children aged nine and above in England.
Teaching about gender identity will be excluded from the curriculum under the new proposals.
Concerns have been raised that age limits may drive children to seek information from unreliable online sources.
Parents will have the right to review all educational materials used in sex education classes.
The revised guidance will also address issues like sexual harassment and online misogyny.
