Question 19049 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Olivier Gaillard draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the effective application of legal obligations regarding sexuality education in schools. The law of July 4, 2001 relating to voluntary termination of pregnancy and contraception provides that “information and education on sexuality are provided in schools, colleges and high schools for at least three sessions per year and in homogeneous age groups", and that these sessions "contribute to learning the respect due to the human body" (article L. 312-16 of the education code). Circular No. 2003-027 of February 17, 2003 specified the objectives and methods of application and article 19 of the law of April 13, 2016 aimed at strengthening the fight against prostitution system and to support prostitutes added that “these sessions present an egalitarian vision of relations between women and men”. However, according to a study carried out almost fifteen years later by the High Council for Equality during the 2014-2015 school year, “the effective application of legal obligations in matters of sexuality education in schools still remains patchy, uneven depending on the territory because it depends on individual goodwill. Thus, the study specifies that out of a sample of 3,000 public and private establishments surveyed, 25% of elementary schools, 4% of middle schools and 11.3% of high schools say they have not put anything in place in this area. The lack of financial resources, availability of staff and the difficult management of timetables are seen as the main obstacles to the implementation implementation of sexuality education and, conversely, training is seen as the main facilitating factor. Consequently, he would like to know the measures it intends to implement in order to strengthen the effective implementation of legal obligations regarding sexuality education in schools.
