Schools must give sexual education up to the lower years of secondary school. This is set in the core objectives. These include all the required lesson topics. Relationships and sexuality are included as a subject.<\/p>\n
What the teacher discusses in lessons differs per school. In primary school, it is about friendship, relationships and having a crush. Touching and setting your boundaries are also discussed. There is attention to different opinions and perspectives about sexuality. Not everyone sees it the same way. The lessons must be suitable for the children’s age. Pupils in group 3 get different lessons than pupils in group 8. In lower secondary school the focus is on respecting different opinions and ways of life. There is also attention to respectful behaviour in relationships, sexuality and sexual diversity.<\/p>\n
Your child’s school likely uses teaching materials from the Knowledge Centre Rutgers, Veiligwijs or another provider. These sexual education packages are suited to different ages and classes. Knowledge Centre Rutgers developed the package “Kriebels in je buik” for primary schools. The method Wonderlijk Gemaakt is mainly used in Christian primary schools. School and Safety created the Gendi teaching materials and made an overview of other available materials. The school does not have to use one of these materials but can also make its own choices on the topic.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the teaching package Kriebels in je buik","url":"https:\/\/www.kriebelsinjebuik.nl\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the teaching method Wonderlijk Gemaakt","url":"https:\/\/wonderlijkgemaakt.nl\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the teaching method Veiligwijs","url":"http:\/\/www.veiligwijs.nl","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the overview of gendi","url":"https:\/\/www.gendi.nl\/lesmaterialen\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"
A large number of primary schools take part in the week of the lentekriebels. This event is held every year by Rutgers. For secondary schools and mbo, the lang leve de liefde award was created. This award is given every year on valentine’s day. Lang leve de liefde also provides teaching materials for secondary schools and mbo.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the website of the week of the lentekriebels","url":"https:\/\/seksuelevorming.nl\/onderwerpen\/week-van-de-lentekriebels\/","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"View the website of lang leve de liefde","url":"https:\/\/www.langlevedeliefde.nl\/leerlingen","target":"_blank"},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"
Sex education and sexuality are topics where you as a parent have a big role. If you chose a school with a certain identity, you can expect that sex education fits that identity. You can also expect the teaching to fit your child’s age. If you have questions about the method used at school, ask the teacher what materials they use. This way you can see what your child learns at school and discuss it at home too.<\/p>\n
If you have concerns or questions about the teaching materials, you can bring this up with the parents in the school participation council. They represent you as a parent at school and can discuss this topic and the choice of materials with the school principal.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":false,"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}}],"samenvatting":"Is sexual education mandatory?
