Rejected petition Change the way that sex education is taught in England.

Bring in out of school teachers, don't split up genders, and change general information being thrown at children. Modernise our children's education.

More details

Due to poor sex education in this country young people get pregnant and STD's but also they are scared of intimacy due to the way things are taught. Girls are taught of periods and boys are taught to clean. Why shouldn't both sex's be taught of each others body's. Sex education is an embarrassing topic for children and adults so why not make it easier for everyone.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We can also only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for, rather than what is the responsibility of schools for example.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You can read the relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education curriculum here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to change in the curriculum.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
