For the first time, sex education classes will be compulsory for all Israeli students starting next school year, reports Ynet.
The professional teams of the Ministry of Education’s Psychological Consultation Service have built a course program suitable for all ages entitled “Healthy Sexuality and Incident Prevention”.
From 6th to 3rd year, students will have at least 10 different lesson themes such as “the joy of growing up”, “my body and me”, “I take care of my body”, “self-esteem” or even ” maintain his privacy.”
In the 5th year, students will deepen “self-esteem and helping others”, “self-preservation” or “learning to say no”.
Sixth graders will discuss sexual and physical development and how it manifests in girls and boys, differences between boys and girls in physiological and emotional development, gender stereotypes and the influence of the outside world on self-image.
In 9th grade, classes will focus on love and sex with “sexual harassment is not courtship” or “porn is not love”.
This week teachers went on strike to protest their salaries.
