All issues would be covered in a safe environment to ensure that students were given the skills to cope with all aspects of real lifeMinister for Education Norma Foley said the current syllabus was 20 years old and children live in a different world.
A draft review of RSE will be published today as part of the consultative process. It will cover consent, gender stereotyping, wellbeing, relationships, online pornography and the sharing of sexual images. It was important that students be given the tools to help them cope with “this complex world”, she added.
When asked how pornography would be addressed in the draft, Ms Foley said that a key feature was the safe use of the internet and the potential impact on relationships of the sharing of sexual images online. Students needed to be aware of the importance of sharing personal information, the risks and consequences of sharing images online.
Interesting that both Sexism and Racism are included in the glossary but Abelism is excluded from the glossary. A huge amount of bullying takes place because of abelist beliefs, surely students need to be educated about this?

There is still *no* coverage whatsoever in Irish primary or secondary schools of racism/racist abuse of pupils. This is undoubtedly related to the fact that staff are on the whole white and don’t have the skill set to deal with the issue. Urgently needed. NormaFoleyTD1

They should also teach propaganda, government trolls online and fake retweets by turks to help them identify when their own government are trying to manipulate them and their opinions as they are very influential.
That sums up all of the sex education you really need 'man+woman=baby'
This is pointless I have no idea why I'm being taught sex ed it's not like I'll ever use it
