Teaching reforms will make it compulsory for all secondary school kids to learn about sex and relationships

SECONDARY school pupils will be given compulsory sex education classes including subjects such as sexting and revenge porn in radical changes.

Children will also receive lessons on healthy relationships from the age of four from September 2019 after Education Secretary Justine Greening said the current curriculum had become "outdated".

How will the changes impact current sex education in schools?

Reforms will see relationship and sex education made compulsory for all secondary-age pupils, while primary schools will be required to teach children about relationships from the age of four.

At present, sex education is compulsory only for secondary pupils in schools run by local authorities.

The reform will make it mandatory in all schools, including academies, independent schools and religious free schools and extend the subject to include relationships as well as modern phenomena such as internet porn and sexting.

Four-year-olds will also learn the importance of not cuddling strangers, it was revealed.

However, Education Secretary Justine Greening has previously said that any education will be "age appropriate" and it is not expected that children as young as four would be taught about the biological mechanics of sex.

Instead, they are likely to be taught about relationship issues.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "Relationship and sex education is clearly an important part of preparing children and young people for adult life."

What will children be taught about porn and sexting?

Education secretary Justine Greening has said children should be taught about the dangers of sexting and porn to address concerns about the rising number of children sending indecent images.

Sexual consent and domestic violence are other topics that should be taught in sex education lessons, her department was told.

The calls to change sex education lessons reportedly stems from worrying surveys which reveal that girls saw the act boys slapping their bottoms and sharing naked pictures with boyfriends was seen as normal.

A new survey revealed a large majority of Brits think children should be taught about pornography and sexting in schools.

The poll of 2,000 adults found 75 per cent of Britons want children to be taught about the impact of pornography, while just 7 per cent were opposed to the move.

The survey, commissioned by the charity Plan International UK and carried out by Opinium, also found 71 per cent want lessons on sexting.

And 86 per cent of those surveyed think sexual consent should be taught while 82 per cent want lessons to cover violence and abuse in relationships.

A statement from Ms Greening said: "The statutory guidance for sex and relationships education was introduced in 2000 and is becoming increasingly outdated. It fails to address risks to children that have grown in prevalence over the last 17 years, including cyber bullying, 'sexting' and staying safe online.

"Parents will continue to have a right to withdraw their children from sex education.

"Schools will have flexibility over how they deliver these subjects, so they can develop an integrated approach that is sensitive to the needs of the local community; and, as now, faith schools will continue to be able to teach in accordance with the tenets of their faith."

The number of straight 16 to 24-year-olds in Britain who have tried vaginal, oral and anal sex has rocketed.

And the age at which people first had sex is down from 19 for men and 20 for women to 16 for both.

Academics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine examined data from the National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles.

Experts say the trends are fuelled by internet porn, dating apps and more relaxed social attitudes.

Easy access to contraception also makes people feel more sexually liberated.
