The Ministry of Children and Education announced in a press release that the government is currently introducing sex education in all youth education schools in Denmark (Ungdomsuddannelser) across all disciplines on a mandatory basis.
ووفقاً لبيان صحفي شمل تصريح مُصور لوزيرة الطفولة والتعليم بيرنيل روزنكرانتز تيل تقول الوزيرة “لقد ظل الشباب يطالبون بها لفترة طويلة وهي الآن في طريقها. أدخلت الحكومة التربية الجنسية الإلزامية في كل تعليم الشباب. لقد استمعنا إلى الشباب وبالتالي فإننا نقوم حالياً بإدخال التربية الجنسية الإلزامية وتحسين التربية الجنسية في جميع أنواع تعليم الشباب في الدنمارك”.
While sex education was taught in primary schools, the subject was not compulsory in the youth education system, and this led to several student organizations making demands about the need for sex education in youth education as well, including the Danish Association of High School Students and the National Association of Business School Students.
In November, the head of the aforementioned association said that the desire is primarily linked to the ongoing debate about sexual assault, where there is space in education to talk about how to ensure consent and respect for boundaries.
The other group that still demands sex education is private school students, and since private schools are exempt from some articles of the government schools law, sex education is not mandatory in them.
