The government approved changes to the citizenship discipline, after analyzing the suggestions made in the public consultation phase. With this change, the dimension of sex education will have another dimension and will be more explicit in the program.
O new script of the discipline of Citizenship and Development, presented in mid -July by the government, drew attention for Almost ignoring the theme of sexuality.
In an analysis of the government proposal and the strategy in force, it was concluded that the attention given to sexuality or sexual orientation would cease to exist and would only be treated in the context of human rights violations.
Only in the essential learning script for the third cycle and in the Human Rights Chapter would students be called to “analyze historical and current cases of human rights violations (including, among others, human trafficking, sexual abuse, gender violence, as well as violence against people with sexual orientation and non -normative genre)”.
But then the script went to public consultation and everything changed. After all, sexuality will be more prominent than what the government proposed.
The Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandrerevealed this Thursday that schools will receive information on Friday.
“The National Strategy of Citizenship Strategy was approved today,” said Fernando Alexandre recalling that this document as well as the Citizenship and Development Essential Learning (AE) received More than 10,000 contributions during public consultation which ended in August.
The Directorate-General for Education (DGE) analyzed all these contributions, having validated almost 2,300 relating to national strategy and more than 700 for essential learningaccording to data advanced by the minister during the press conference after the meeting of the Council of Ministers.
“The most relevant part has to do with the health area,” he said, explaining that they represented 87% of the proposals made for the national strategy and 71% for the AE and, in this sense, in the new documents will be “more explicit the dimension of sex education.”
