They should take the wishes of the parents and local religious and cultural factors into account and place sex education within a moral and family context. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Have you got an education query?

Some aspects of sex education - the basic facts about human reproduction, for instance - are part of the National Curriculum and parents cannot withdraw children from those. Parents can withdraw children from anything wider than this. If this is the case, you must write to the head. ——————————————————————————————————3/3—— Have you got an education query?
