Sex education to be compulsory in all schools in England

Education Secretary Damian Hinds has announced that sex education will be compulsory in all schools in England from 2020. Three new subjects - relationships education from primary school, relationships and sex education at secondary school, and health education for all ages - will form part of the school curriculum, with teachers deciding how frequently to hold age-appropriate lessons. The new statutory guidance will also spell out for the first time the end of parents' right to opt their children out of sex and relationships education classes in secondary school.
